I don't care that the power needs to be on or that you don't have full time manual focus but the undampened ring is a little squirrelly.
Oh and that ball is only a week old. That dog wants to play ball all the time. Also listen to peety, he is dead on.

I judge by the amount of lines before and after the number to see if it is dead on. If you get an equal number of lines sharp or equally sharp your lens should dead on. Lock up the mirror and use a remote cord or the 2 second time so you don't get any vibrations. I star with it zeroed out and then go in 5 step increments, reshoot and then adjust accordingly. If you shoot this lens wide open it is a necessity.
