To clarify, though, you're not adjusting the lens alone, you're adjusting the lens/camera autofocus system. No two camera/lens combinations are identical because of minute differences in variables like the mount/sensor distance on the body and optical center/mount distance on the lenses. Camera manufacturers create lenses and bodies to high precision, but there are always minute differences so the manufacturers try to minimize the variations and create a happy balance. There's a reason high-end cameras now include micro-adjustment of autofocus.

Just for my clarification, of the "two million dollars" worth of equipment
you calibrated, what percentage actually needed adjustment?

"Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it.
Love it. But above all, know light.
Know it for all you are worth,
and you will know the key to photography."
