[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 511942, member: 6277"] It does not Fix things. What is does is guide you through the find tune process and when you get through the process the lens should be in tune. There is a focus chart file that is with the program that you will print out and use in the process. If you do go with this program make sure you print the chart on good paper. I used a photo quality matte finish paper and it works great. Go to a place like Office Depot and get some of the foam core board that is sticky on one side and mount the print on it and then trim to size. Make sure you have good light and that everything is squared away a close as possible. All of these things are the same as if you were trying to do it by eye. The standard thinking is that you should be fine tuning at 50 times the focal length of the lens. For your 50mm you should be tuning it at 98.425 inches or close to it. I generally round it up to something close like 8 feet in this case. I was having all sorts of problems getting my shots in nice sharp focus and I tried all sorts of tuning methods until I went with FoCal [/QUOTE]
