[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 76355, member: 9237"] I'm having trouble with the 16-85 in getting the adjustments dialed in. I am certain this is because the test requires you to stop down as much as you can with each lens. This means, that in order to "fill the frame" as much as possible, I'd need to be closer to the focus chart than the lens can handle at it's minimum focus distance. It's also very difficult to get any sort of bokeh going on with a wide angle and f3.5 of a chart that's more than a foot away :/ [B]The 35mm 1.8G should be at "-2" for accurate focus. The 16-85mm 3.5 so far, looks to be very good at -8. More testing required..[/B] Just wanted to share these little tidbits so people can find it if they ever need to search for it.
