Re: LF Advice on selling a front focusing EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 lens

Mine needs +6 on my 7D Mk II and +2 on my old 7D Mk I.  It's tack sharp and fast on both bodies.  It's no big deal.

The possible problem is if it needs a different adjustment at wide vs telephoto... that can be problematic on many bodies.  My new 150-600 Tamron needs +3 wide/+8 telephoto on my Mk II body which would be an issue on my old Mk I with only one adjustment.

I don't have any lenses that don't need some minor adjustment for optimal performance; the closest is my 70-200 f4L IS at +2 on my Mk II and -1 on my Mk I.
