The AF fine tune in the camera is used to correct the residual errors in the camera body and back focal length of the lenses. Nikon has a proprietary equation in the lenses that has a variety of coefficients that are determined during manufacture of the lenses. FWIW, Nikon lenses are calibrated to (hopefully) maintain a constant back focal length of the lenses as the focal length and range are adjusted.

I found the new version of FoCal PRO a nice improvement. Has anyone actually done this? I wonder what they found. Sigma and Tamron allow you to adjust your lenses at intermediate focal lengths and distances. Maybe it's time for another look?Ī few people noted that these methods adjust the cameras at only two distances and suggested that the micro-adjustments do not apply at other distances. I guess I still am and have struggled to get it right the old fashioned way. I use Nikon DX with DX-rated lenses, so I was leary of the effectiveness of the Reikon system with my equipment. I've considered purchasing this for my camera/lens arrangements. (Note: my wife does not)I have just spent the last day & a half runnin. So, I'll be pouring over the sales ads in the future. The non-G2 group didn't achieve the improvements I was hoping for. My Tamron G2 group seem to have developed the sharpness I've been craving, now that I've put them through the testing. Don't get me wrong, the so-called clunker lenses work just fine, they just miss out on the critical sharp focus I'm looking for
So it looks like I'll be in the market for some of the higher dollar Nikon glass and put a couple of the clunkers up for sale, mostly on eBay. You know you've got a problem lens when Focal basically says "Fa-gid-about-it." The lower dollar 3rd party lenses, at least the ones that I own, are all over the spectrum. Most of the higher dollar 3rd party glass, such Tamron, seem to do a mostly good job as well. 2) Cheaper versions and some kit lenses, not so much. The good news/bad news situation is this: 1) good, high dollar Nikon glass (I'm sure Canon & others) really nails the automated sharpness adjustments.
I've known for a while that a couple of my lenses just did not quite meet my expectations of sharpness so now was a good time to take that out of the equation.

I just downloaded the update and took the program out for a spin for the first time after owning it for almost 6 months.
I have just spent the last day & a half running my most utilized lenses through Reikan Focal Pro 2.9.
