Very informative article from Roger Cicala about "in spec" lenses:

I loved the part about the chief of optical testing!
In my Pentax days, I remember having sent a Pentax DA* 16-50 back and it came back exactly the same, nothing had changed.
It's a shame manufacturers don't take it a bit more seriously. The lack of good QC in the first place doesn't help either.
It looks the new Sigma direction is trying to change a little all of this. Let's hope others will follow.
