Look at it this way, if your market wants a $600 ( price point marketing) lens, then you design to that spec... $600. Tolerances are designed to be more loose than the same lens specs with a price of $1600. Maybe you use metal with the expensive lens, and plastic with the cheaper. Same with bodies. Now the user expects the results of those 2 lenses to be thee same. So you design into the bodies the ability to tweak tolerances out, so that the results are improved. Time goes on and something inside the lens wears, changes, or otherwise moves, and you start getting worse results. Back to calibration SW to fix it. It makes a lot of sense to me. <<< Closed-loop focussing algorithms would go a long way toward fixing the errors.
