I got one.
My students like it very much as it clearly shows
the target when I explain and demonstrate how
to fine-tune the AF.
I don't use very often as I do with a simple ruler.
You could do the same and save 50 quids.

Thanks for reply Daniel. Too late I just bought one but only paid £40 plus p+p. Lots of good feedback on different sites for this. I am trying to make sure My gear is right so it gives me the best opportunity for decent images.

Sorry for that, was out shooting today.
This is one of the many photography accessories
that cost a lot and, though it is a good idea, it is
still just dust catching plastic.

No problem Daniel . I actually made a similar one printed from the net but it bent and wasn't much good. If it works it will be money well spent. As have been quoted £55 to calibrate just my Tamron, I have saved £10 up to now and I have 5 lenses.

You mean one of these http://spyder.datacolor.com/portfolio-view/spyderlenscal/
Neat little gadget, but ultimately no different to this edible DIY version. Just pop it on the kitchen worktop, square it it up to camera/tripod, and away you go. Also, following the same basic principle, you can swap it for something larger to use for wide-angles at realistic shooting distance.

Well it arrived today. I have done a calibration of my 18-105 on my D300 and it has made a massive difference It was much better quality than I expected and I am happy with my purchase looking forward to doing the rest of my lenses now.

Yes, I believe you, Charles.
Soon enough, the suggestion Richard
and I made will come to its full value:
very, very cheap and just as good!
