If you are using a camera and lens that are at the limits of the equipment (i.e. the 135mm 3.4, the 90mm 2.0, the 75mm 1.4, the 50mm 1.0) the tolerances being off one way on one and the other way on the other may be enough to throw the camera-lens system off. So, you can send them in under warranty, and they will manually adjust them both to dead-on the precise specs, not just within the +/- that is allowed on the production line. Both then should work just as well or better with any other body/lens combination as well. They are not "mated" to each other.
