This is why I do not understand the write up one sees of complaints of front or back focussing errors. I made up a simple checker and checked all of my lens. I did not find one faulty lens. The only fault one sees is build quality, such as stiff zooming etc.
I was just reading the March issue of PhotoPlus and they said it again about a Tamron lens. On the last test it was so-so but on this one much better for the same model of lens.
