I have few friends who bought Sigma lenses that were not sharp on their cameras due to focus precision problems. We have rather good Sigma service and there the lenses were fine tuned to the cameras giving outstanding results in terms of AF precision.

Now, I suppose, with the introduction of this new lens, the adjustment could be made by the user (for free, I would think) and at their leisure. Although I generally would prefer strict QC and lenses working accurately out of the box, this solution is second best, so that I needn't be going to the office for each lens I'd buy that might have this kind of problems.

What's the point of focus adjustment on the lens anyway? Unless it is
for fine-tuning the distance scale on the lens itself, I would think
it doesn't do anything. Focus is determined by the camera body, not
the lens. Am I missing something here?
