[QUOTE="Camera Fun, post: 564120, member: 13006"] I always struggled when using any type of angled system (even if it had a flat target for focusing on). Probably due to not getting the camera properly aligned with the target. I've done better with the dot tune method but still struggled with variable results but I think that was due to too much camera movement from all the button pushing. Recently I tried the dot tune again with my 24-70 but took extra time to ensure properly alignment between the D7000 and the target; used 50 x focal length of 70mm; and was very aware of not moving the camera. I ran the test 10 times and eliminated 4 results that were way off from the others; which gave me 6 results ranging from -5 to -7.5. Then with the camera still on the tripod, I photographed the target using settings of -4 to -8. When I viewed them on the computer, the -6 setting was the sharpest. [/QUOTE]
