This lens is my workhorse that is on my camera 90% of the time. Yes, it does require a bit more adjustment than all other in my system. The FF/BF that you referred to, what was the distance between the subject and the camera. While I was able to demonstrate slight FF at very close distance (~2'), the problem disappears at longer distance relevant to my style.
I stopped buying from eBay because of the poor return policy unless the price is so low that I don't care if it is a total loss. KEH, B&H, Adorama, Amazon are better choices imo.

My Tamron 17-50 has developed severe front focus. At -10 I have it down to about 1/8th of an inch at 50mm but then at 17 it has a small bit of back focus.
Q: Anyone have a simular issue with this lens? I bought this used off ebay and I am wondering if someone passed off a lemon on me.
Q: Has anyone sent a lens to C.R.I.S for focus issues? I tried to do the online estimate thing but it says I need to send it in. Anyone know the approximate cost for getting AF repairs?
Any other input or suggestions are most welcome.
