Backfocus tests

I was suspecting some backfocus with my K10 and decided to run a few tests.
It appears ok in this respect but maybe its front focusing a little.
Am i reading it correctly. Thanks

90mm tamron macro




Shutter @ 1/125
Aperture f2.5
iso 200

I also performed a few tests on my DA* 16-50 @50mm


Shutter @ 1/60
Aperture f2.8
iso 100

I also took this shot with the 90mm macro. I set the battery up 50mm in front of the box with the print on it. and shot it from 1metre away.

Is there somewhere I can download a focus test chart?

I think I've seen it somewhere on the forum in the past, but I can't find it!

K-3, a macro lens and a DA*300mm...

I would say it is slightly front-focussing. On your 90 mm, the rear figure 6 is out of focus while the frong figure 6 is still sharp. However, judging from the battery shot, it does not seem to give you any major problem.
