[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 241934, member: 9240"] I use it all the time, particularly on Primes. Given that you can only calibrate on one point on zooms I will do my checking at what I consider the more useful points of the zoom and decide if I need to adjust. If I do, I adjust and recheck along the length. It's usually a compromise. Generally I'll adjust at the long end of a zoom since that's the point where depth of field is smallest. I use the Spyder calibration tool and eyeball. I tether to Lightroom so that I can get a good look at the photos. I am dragging my feet on getting the Focal software, but those who have used it swear by it. I hadn't really thought about it when I first started playing with fine tuning, but I've learned that Canon offers 2 points of adjustment on zooms, and Sigma now allows you to adjust to 4 points on their art series zoom lenses with their USB dock (this is done via separate software and not in the camera). If there's a feature I'd love to see added to Nikon firmware it would be added adjustment points for zoom lenses. [/QUOTE]
