Thanks. I am slightly worried about reports of inconsistent focussing with this lens, some say to be totally frustated with it (a minority) and most reviews say it's dead on accurate.

Is there a quick and dirty test that I can do, at the person I buy it from, without big screen computer evaluation? Aim at the middle of a ruler carefully avoiding recompose and enlarge on screen? That's how I would normally do it. Would that reveil any issues? Maybe both near and far?

Instead of a ruler, which is a somewhat small area of focus, try making a focus test chart like this.

They have a much larger target for better consistency.
