AF adjustment

[Premier]

Morning all
I've been looking at the Focal AF fine adjustment software to calibrate my cameras af focus.
Has anyone used it / got it, i would appreciate honest feedback if you have used it before i take the plunge.

Anything better or more importantly more accurate.
Cheers Ady

I've got it and used it on longer lenses. Works fine for me - I believe on Canon it can do all the work for you, on Nikon (which I have) you have to manually enter the values it asks for - other than that it works well ime.

It's excellent (IMHO). It can perform the task automatically on your 1D3 but, like Paul's Nikon gear, the 1Dx will need manual intervention to input the MA values.

I use Focal for all my lenses and bodies, it is fantastic and I highly recommend it.

Worth having a read of the above when testing indoors.
