Do you microadjust your lens?

Re: Do you microadjust your lens?

My Sigma 35 Art worked well on my 6D at medium range distance, but focus at infinity and wide open was a bit off. I never found it an issue because I shoot wide open only on closer distance and infinity more from 2.8 upwards.

However, I recently bought the Sigma Dock and did a full calibration. It took me about an hour for all distance brackets to compare live view with the normal AF. I had to dial in +10 to +14 corrections on all distances which surprised me.

I haven't corrected my 2 L lenses and the other Sigma 85/1.4 EX. They all seem fine and I am not paranoid to check them all.
