I am by no means a pro photographer, but I've discussed this many times with pros. If you can deal with the MF and are extremely critical on nailing the focus perfectly, a perfectly calibrated rangefinder will no doubt be the ultimate solution. While it does take practice and more time, you get that extremely critical focus that I have yet to see an AF system nail every time (of course it will nail it every now and then, but if it is not repeatable every time, I cannot rely on it). Even MF on a DSLR is not as reliable as you need the special focus screen and the method isn't as binary as the RF focusing.
With that said, every photographer will have to be aware of the level of focus they really need to achieve vs how much work and time you are willing to (or have to) spend on this one item that may or may not make or break your final image.

Then take your Leica put it in continuous mode (depending on the lens u use ISO at 200 Shutter at 1/500, F2.0 or F5.6 and try to nail the shot by exposing three frames while slightly panning to the right and forwards and backwards.....so, as you hold down the shutter button its one, two slightly forwards and to the right, three backwards and to right...I bet one of those is perfect, but it take practice to get the rhythm down. You can also shoot at F8.0 for the DoF zone and nail it every time. Funny how the simple solution is always the hardest to figure out. It was taught to me by Thorsten Overgaard up to that point I couldn't focus on a subject either.Find a tether ball post and ball try your auto-focus with your canon see if you can nail it (I doubt it).:
