After touting the virtues of the modern Sigma lens my work horse Sigma

It varies.With the long lenses, I start by setting it for the mid range, then
check to see how accurate it is at the focal length I use most. With a wide to
mid range, it’s easiest to see differences in focus at the long end, so I set
it there, then check for the mid range. The DA* 16-50 needed

I bumped my DA* 60-250 when I took a spill last August. It was in a soft lens
case and there was no apparent damage, but the next time I used it the images
were soft in places. Did a brick wall test and discovered that the focus field
was no longer flat. Evidently, the elements had been knocked
