It is frustrating. Tamron usually does a decent job. With Canon, it's Sigma that seems to struggle with AF calibration. Almost every person on the Canon forum that buys that 50mm f/1.4 sends it in without even trying it out for calibration because the front focusing issue is so prevalent. I hope the new batch of lenses is better since I would really like a couple of those.

Well, I was actually planning on going with Pentax originally but got a good deal on a 40D, so I went that route. I've always respected the Pentax community and have toyed with the idea of getting a camera like the K7 and the 31, 43, 77 FA Limited prime combo for street shooting. As for the softness, I believe that my copy front-focused slightly but the originals were sharper than this. I think that is mostly due to Photobucket compression since I didn't resize ahead of time back when I had this lens. For what it's worth, my 17-55 is sharper wide open.
