Yes, AF wide open aiming at LA . I guess I could do what you suggest.Makes sense to 1st test the lenses you use most often. Are you comfirming if focusing is off by using cameras autofocus to 1st focus a lens wide open at a given distance and then determining acccuracy via focus peaking?

Sounds good Lou. Often it was long distance accuracy with legacy lenses shot near their max. apature that seemed to have the moat difficulty.Yes, AF wide open aiming at LA . I guess I could do what you suggest.
But I am taking shots so that I can later use Focus Tune software for evaluating best nesr focus setting. But I do use replay and then zoom in to see what worked with various settings.
Do I assume the 300/5.6 and 150/2.8 are included above?Sounds good Lou. Often it was long distance accuracy with legacy lenses shot near their max. apature that seemed to have the moat difficulty.

I have some very nice German Hefe Weizen glasses that could make good targets.Wow -10 is quite a bit. Thats why af fine tune especially with 645 digital bodies I believe is so important, and of course with regards to the legacy lenses. I too always wished that it went to -20 like Nikon bodies and thought when the 645z came around that they would expand from the original 645D.
My question to you were these settings required at min focus? If so I'm curious what if anything changes at infinity. I wouldn't use lens alight at mid or infinity. At mid tange set up aome sort of targets) to shoot at.
You do know with a few good strong beers, the over riding concern will be what time the tavern closes...not the af fine tune settings

Lou, see what infinity shows. I have some thoughts regarding selecting 30 feet as the mid distance range for aome of the tested lenses...but permit me to reserve comments until you finish infinity testing. Thx so far for the informative feedback.Well, i was lazy and tried all at mid distance, about 30 feet, and nothing changed so next is infinity.
