The calibration information shows how well calibrated this lens is likely to be new, out of the box. A higher score (close to 100) indicates that you are less likely to need to calibrate the lens. The score takes into account the likely amount of calibration required, the variation in calibration across many lenses as well as the likely improvement between an uncalibrated and calibrated lens. For zoom lenses, we also use parfocality, which is a measure of the difference in calibration required between each end of the zoom range.

Focus Consistency
The gauge(s) below show the average amount of error from perfect focus for this lens across all camera bodies. The value is expressed as focus adjustment units (i.e. AF Microadjustment units for Canon cameras, AF Fine Tune units for Nikon, Sony etc). The lower the value, the better the focus repeatability on this lens.
