I know I will upset some folks with this post....but can't help but wonder how much the focus issue have to do with user error.  What methods are being used here when you are having focus issues?  If you have micro adjust on your camera, have you.  EVERY single lens I have needed some sort of MA (Yes all the L lenses too).  I wonder how many are using different bodies too.  My 5D3 I realize has excellent focus tracking, could that be part of the issue?  Maybe the bodies being used don't?  From what I've read, it seems like almost 50 / 50 from love or "send it back".  Seems odd to me.
