From what I was told got to be careful with the calibration cos you can perfect it with one lens but may cause problem to other lens once the body is calibrated with the 1st lens. Just my two cents

the lens is calibrated to the body, not the body to the lens.

Take note you MUST make a reservation for focus calibration.
Free for local set, even out of warranty (at least for me )
For non-local set, dont think its free unless still under warranty.

already confirmed multiple times in other threads.

doesn't matter if local/grey, warranty or no warranty, they will calibrate for free as long as it is a sigma lens.

Ya, must make an appointment.
It is free, becos when I brought my lens and body there, they didn't even ask for my warranty card.

Finally good service from Sigma... In fact some of their lenses's IQ are even better then the original maker, with this good support i can buy Sigma lenses with ease.
