I have a question about afma.

I have 2 bodies (60d and 5d3). They are both calibrated to be the same and All my lenses need no afma adjustments


However I just bought a tamron 150 600. On my 5d3 it appears to near +6 on the tele end and -5 on the wide end. However my 60d seems to be fine with it.

Is this possible? Or must my tests be wrong.

The oddity is that any lenses are the same on the two cameras.
However, I've understand that a camera compensates for the actual lens attached to the camera by using a data table in the firmware. Since a third party lens must lie to a camera, and tell it that its a Canon lens, this can cause simple things like AFMA issues, or even bigger ones.
