This is the focus I have been chasing with my long lenses and have been super frustrated by. Again, yes I *know* that MFA can fix it on those cams, but I don’t seem to have time...

now I need to practice with the R to see if I can approach your excellent results!

The most comprehensive Canon MFA document to date. Page 5. No only does it say to MFA a the distance you usually shoot but 50X as well. Basically at location would be best. I have never found a document that says both, only one or the other. Also the first time it mentions the light source. I use Focal, purchased the target and two daylight balanced studio CFL's to light the target. I would try to get as much natural daylight as I could as well. I was doing this long before this came out and I think some people thought I was nuts.  O shoot in a daylight most of the time.

I rented a college because I did not have the space. It is old renovated building with a new exterior glass glass enclosure. They rent it out for wedding shoots, etc which I did a few times for customers. $50 an hr and the main entrance has a long hallway and cement floor. Saturday during summer so there weren't many people. I was there for almost 3 hrs and the security guards didn't care because they could see from their office. Still no fun.

I feel even more confident that soon things will have a wonderful conclusion
