thanks, i finally found this after searching the web site for a while
so far, the longest lens i've tested is 400mm at f5.6 on the 5D2 at 25 ft - did not seem to have a problem making the necessary adjustment
haven't tried the lens align on my sigma 12-24, so maybe i should do that before deciding to buy. i expect it will be difficult to test this lens as it's so wide with such a small aperture, but with that much depth of field does autofocus accuracy really make that much difference anyhow?
so i guess my question is how wide is wide? how long is long? and how far is far?
