I think it's a good thing, but I could be wrong. Is it more a tele to supertele trend/need? Shooting mostly 24-200 I've never bothered. Just lazy I guess.
Paul -- I have three bodies that allow AFMA, and each requires a different setting for the same lens. Each camera is pretty consistent as regards increments of change for each lens, but the range is different.
I don't find it makes a difference -- all my lenses needs some degree of adjustment.
Here are some examples.
16-35L II: 5D2, -6; 1D3, +5; 1Ds3, +5
17TSE: 5D2, -5; 1D3, +2; 1Ds3, -1
50L: 5D2, -7; 1D3, +5; 1Ds3, +5
28-300L: 5D2, 0; 1D3, +3; 1Ds3, -2
As you can see, none of these lenses has "zero" adjustment over three different bodies. The same holds true for all my lenses -- they all need some (usually minor) correction for best accuracy at a wide range of distances. I find that even a single increment of adjustment is noticeable in a lens, when viewed critically at 100% on repeated tests.
But, in the end, it's whatever you feel works for you!
