How to Check and Micro Adjust your Camera Lens

Ever feel as though you are using good picture taking technique, yet your images still look soft or out of focus? The problem may be that your camera–lens combination is front or back focusing. When we finally pluck up the courage to purchase an expensive lens, we expect them to be perfect right? Unfortunately, no matter how good the lens is, there are always going to be minor differences when we attach it to our specific camera. Often our camera bodies are made at a completely different time and usually in a completely different factory, so when we finally bring the two together there are often minor adjustments that we the user have to make to ensure we’re getting the best image possible from that specific lens. So regardless of whether our lens is new or old, or if our camera body is new or old, many will say fine-tuning your lens to your camera body is crucial. Join Mike Bonanza and Dave McGowen as they show you how to test the accuracy of your autofocus and, if necessary, make micro adjustments to your camera and improve the sharpness of your images.
