[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 482851, member: 6277"] With my old eyes I had lots of trouble seeing the difference in focus by looking at the camera so always had to move to the computer and even then I could not tell the difference in -2 and +2 so although it would look good where I ended up it was never exactly right. The FoCal lets me get it a lot closer a lot faster. I always set mine up first and then shoot with it for a while while looking critically at the performance of the fine tune to see if it is where I think it should be. After a couple of month I will sit down and run it again just to see how close it is. One tip on printing the target. I went to Office Depot and bought a pack of high quality Matte printing photo paper and use it to print. I don't have to worry about glare this way. I also went to Office Depot and got a sheet of [URL="http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/620476/Office-Depot-Brand-Repositionable-Self-Adhesive/"]Self-Adhesive Foam Board[/URL] to mount the print on. This makes sure you have a perfectly flat target and really helps. I just store the target away so I don't have to worry about reprinting it every time I need to use it. [/QUOTE]
