Could be yet another example of sample to sample variation.
Years ago I was startled to watch a guy walk into a local (now the
*only* local) pro camera shop and buy three brand new copies of the
same expensive Nikon lens. I asked my sales guy what it was about and
he said, "He always buys at least three, tests them all, keeps the
best one and returns the rest."
I've learned to test used gear as soon as it arrives to make sure all
is well. Learned it, don't always do it . . . ;o)
