I think I know the answer but wanted to check is there anyway to fine tune focus on the DF?
Many thanks

Thanks for the confirmation Jack! Actually the focus is bang on on mine, but with the 110 LS, I get eyebrows and eyelashes, when I want eyelashes and pupils. Just wanted to be able to knock it back 2mm and I could then shoot wildly shallow headshots with AF.
I will try the triple tap thing. I never quite got how to do it before, that explanation clears it up!
Time to get a split focusing screen from Mamiya I think.
Chances are it's not a recalibration issue, but a limitation of the AF on the Phase One. The center focusing are is rather large and will focus on the closes object within it. It is also easy to have the feature outside of the focus point. There is also no indication as to which focus point actually made the focus lock.Thanks for the confirmation Jack!

Can the DF be calibrated differently for different lenses? Like the 5D mark II for example.It might not be a bad idea to do an easy test - meaning take your collection of lenses, set up a shot that is very well lit so that the lenses have an excellent chance of grabbing hold the first go, and see if they are consistent. If you find they are, with the exception of the 110mm, it could very well be the lens itself that needs to be looked at.

I can't use most of my work as examples on the forums because I mainly photograph celebrities and I have to be a bit careful of not getting carried away posting them.Fantastic images..... I'm seeing these same people so often, I might give them names.
Fred, I do appreciate the images, they are wonderful. The rest, as you may imagine, was tongue and cheek, not meant to offend.I can't use most of my work as examples on the forums because I mainly photograph celebrities and I have to be a bit careful of not getting carried away posting them.
