And canon recommends the longer end. 3) Very rare, 5D mkII is a good performer usually. Which lens do you use? Are you ware of Depth of Field? 5DmkII is full frame, thus fast lenses (such as f/1.8) will produce very think DOF. It's easy to miss focus. But without seeing a sample image it's hard to tell. Send me a sample! (use contact form of the website). frankie » Hi,

But bad quality filters can cause focus hunting, blur, and scattering of light. Sandy » No, micro-adjustment will work just fine with or without filter.

I have 3 questions. 1) Is there somewhere I could print out a standard "chart" so I could print out on a piece of paper to use it as the target for measuring? 2) As for zoom lens, can I measure for the longest and then shortest focal lengths and then find the middle micro adjustment setting, say if +5 adjustment is needed for longest focal length, and -1 adjustment for shortest, I could choose +3? 3)Have you heard the sharpness issues with Canon 5D Mark II despite all the calibrations/lens tests? I just bought one and even my old Nikon D70 show much sharper images! Of course the D70 can't compete in low light and pixels and many other things but I just could not get sharp images with the new canon and I read that "small" percentages of owners have that issue. The thing is that the pictures don't seem to even show any sharpness anywhere in a 3D image. For example I could focus on a subject's eye and the picture would not show any sharpness on the nose, hair, skin, eyes, eyelashes, etc. Thanks Thank you for all the information.

So, basically you tell camera that particular lens is front/back focusing, and body takes this into consideration while calculating focus when you half press the shutter button. You had a very good idea, but it will not work, because no information is written or update inside the lens chip. Andry » Hello,
