Gianluca Colla did the actual calibration, and he was more interested in sharing horror stories with me (multi-thousand dollar lenses that focused behind the wall, for instance) than statistics. But many, if not the majority, of lenses tested justified at least some adjustment; and a surprising number required significant adjustment. Then there the ones that could be checked, but not adjusted... thats a frustrating experience, but a few such users were pleased to have the test images as leverage to get the companies involved to either adjust, or replace, the lenses in question...
