Fine tuning for 85mm f1.4G
3 months ago
|
Just wondering if anyone else has run into this issue, to this degree--
I am in the process of fine tuning my lenses using Reikan FoCal. After tests run on different days in different lighting conditions, etc, I have found the following with my 85mm f1.4G:
At 40x focal length (about 11ft.), the lens requires about +17/18 (there is no discernible visible difference between the two at 100%)-- both produce equally sharp results.
At 8 foot, the lens requires +17-- again, sharp.
However, at 5ft down to closest focus distance, the lens appears to require about +7-- at closest focus distance, +17 appears to focus about 1.5 inches behind the target and 0 seems to be about 1 inch in front of the target.
Splitting the difference seems to result in non-optimal sharpness at all focal lengths...
I fully understand that fine tuning is truly only fine tuned to that specific distance-- but has anyone run into such a large discrepancy?
