Re: Back focusing SL1

What is your lenses, Canon or Third Party? My this post may help.

Has anyone found front or back focusing problems with their SLX cameras (or even checked) ?

Wondering what...if anything Canon might do to help with an older, bottom of the line body.

I've never been overly happy with my SL1. The detail/sharpness has not been very good. I chalked it up to a cheaper body and left it at that. I was checking the micro focus on a new lens on a Sony body, and the SL1 was sitting close by...I thought what the hell, I'll give it a go..! It has a zoom lens on it, so I tried f5.6 - f8 - f11. While f8 was by far the best, I also noticed that it back focuses by a large amount. I tried a second lens (also a zoom), almost as bad.

Unfortunately there is no adjustment in the SL1 like the higher end bodies..!

Experience anyone ?

Mike
