Reikan FoCal Pro Lens Calibration 500mm lens

I paid for the Pro version ($99) to get the extra reports. The 70D allows values for both end of telephotos but in this case the adjustments were identical so that feature was not important. In the end, the AF micro-adjustments called for were +5 at 135mm and +5-6 at 18mm so it was +5 for each. The lens to target distance had to change with focal length so that chair moved several times. Total process took about an hour, but that was extended too long due to it being my first time. OK, finally bought the right cable (Canon old Mini USB to USB-C Macbook) and performed the test on my 'standard' lens on the 70D, the Canon 18-135 f3.5-5.6. So anyone done this? If so, what were your results? The 70D is one of those bodies that can be calibrated, So, I do wonder if they all could work better together with the older body.

I also have a EF-S 10-18 which I use for really wide work. My Sigma 150-600 is newer and I just update its firmware but that is only about the lens and was minor tweaks. My 70D is rather long in the tooth as is the EF-S 18-135 I bought with the body. The reports available off of the Pro version are fascinating as is the range of calibration. Reikan FoCal is a software tool that takes control of your camera, guides you through the setup and fully calibrates your camera autofocus with minimal interaction from you. Tune your camera autofocus at the touch of a button. The standard software is like $50 and the Pro version is $100. Nor that the modern bodies can remember the calibration settings to improve autofocus capabilities. I had never heard of lens calibration nor that you could test it and do it for specific lens and body combos. He gives this lens qualified high marks, when adjusted for the price point.ĭuring the review, he mentions using Reikan FoCal to calibrate the test lens with his test bodies (several Canon full frame and cropped DSLRs including my 70D). This guy reviews dozens of lenses and his only commercial link appears to be B&H. So I was reading a review of the Canon 50mm 1.8 STM lens on a reviewer's site.
