Very good ... potentially at least.

Thank you for the interesting reviews published recently, and also thanks for the clear words in the conclusions to the Tokina review regarding quality control. Buying lenses is no fun, unfortunately. And it does not really help that one is able to return lenses to the dealer if bought online (at least in Germany), since lens testing is time consuming and should be part of quality control in the manufacturing process and not part of the "consumer experience".
I wonder what could be a wake-up call to the manufacturers since these problems persist for many years, maybe many decades. Obviously, it pays off to cut costs in quality control since many -- that is my hypothesis -- less-informed consumers just shoot and do not reflect about one-sided unsharpness or misfocus. If the results are bad, they may blame themselves and quit their hobby, or they may be not that interested in the technical quality, or they may just look at small-sized prints, I don't know...
