I shot Sony since my first nex6 and still will be showcasing sony and now canon on my YouTube channel.
I can tell you, the R5 with the same 105mm 1.4 lens with the same shooting style since it's still me, focuses way way more accurate on the actual eye than the A7r iv or any other sony before that did for me.
To have it miss the eye is almost unheard of. That is one of the main reasons I did the switch to it as my main camera. So is not technique as I'm the same person and if anything, I am still learning the new camera while I am very experienced with sony so if anything, Sony as at an advantage in my comparison.
Now of course the bulk of my shots were with the 105mm art and others with an adapted 200mm 2.8 so could that be it? Maybe, but others have reported this with native glass as well.
I do plan to test the A1 vs the R5 or R6 vs A9 using either 50mm 1.2 lenses or wait for the 70-200 GM2 so that both cameras are using more recent glass.
I would prefer to test 85mm lenses but the GM won't be fair vs the newer canon 1.2

Luis, I am using the same Sigma 105mm f/1.4 and quite often at wide open aperture, too. I don’t recall seeing that phenomenon you described. Prior to my Sony E-mount lens, I used a Canon EF-mount via a Sigma MC-11. Both setups are very accurate. There is a current thread in this forum about focusing inaccuracy of a Tamron in FE-mount lens. Would that be feasible that your lens/camera combo back then “suffered” from similar issues?
BTW, I am glad that you are happy with your current gear. Regardless of the gear used, I wish you the best!
