With some cameras this is completely automatic and other cameras run in User Assisted mode which is automatic apart from user prompts to set the AF Microadjustment/Fine Tune value at specific times. Each image is analysed and FoCal predicts the best AF Microadjustment or AF Fine Tune setting.

FoCal Pro provides more in-depth information and offers extra features and functions.įoCal Plus includes Fully Automatic Calibration which automatically sets up the camera, captures full resolution images and validates auto focus consistency for each point. Reikan FoCal comes in two flavours, FoCal Plus and FoCal Pro, both versions will automatically calibrate auto focus but there are some differences. But the way I read the chart, I don't see the value of +4 being relevant or helpful for 13 out of the 17 measured apertures.Īnd here's the help article with the chart legend (which would certainly be helpful to also include in the report.Which version of Reikan FoCal should I buy?

I suspect that recommended adjustment value is skewed by the one high peak I see in the result, but certainly hope that the software is smarter than that and that I might be missing something. However, the software recommends the average adjustment of +4 which would only meaningfully improve the focus for 4 apertures out of 16. Logic tells me that if I wanted to optimize for the entire range of values, I'd place my adjustments in the -2 to -4 area as that's likely going to yield better results for a far wider range of apertures. Here is my main question: do the multi-test Quality Grid (overall max or aperture max) charts make a suggestion based on the average between the highest positive and lowest negative recommended adjustments, weighted for the sharpest point? Or does it adjust for the scale of improvement it could bring across the entire range, factoring in the spread/prevalence of results?įor instance, in my test across 16 apertures where only 4 placed in the positive adjustment range (highest there being +12 and lowest being +2) for apertures of 2.8 - 4 and then 10 apertures after 4.5 plot in the negative range between -2 to no lower than -6, where 7 out of these 10 were all within -4 to -6.

So I'm hoping someone here can help me understand how to interpret those results and maybe point out where I'm misinterpreting them. But I don't have any confidence in the results I got for the 15-30 lens and I don't understand how, seeing the chart plot of the results from the test, it would make sense to implement the recommended adjustment. Running my older Tamron 24-70 G2 through Focal yielded understandable results and the adjustments were just a couple of points off what I'd made with LensAlign a while back. I have used the LensAlign on my older lenses and loved the results, but was looking for an easier, more automated process so I just purchase Reikan Focal Pro. I'm looking for advice on how to interpret the results of a full aperture range test I ran on my Tamron 15-30 G2 lens.
