Poll: AF Accuracy Adjustments
Stolen kit: Pentax K7 #3428965 and Pentax FA 43mm #0028350
FWIW, I've found the chart approach only gets you so far - I still have to fine tune a couple of steps for portraiture.

Interestingly my Canon lenses don't need adjustment on the 7D but the Sigma lenses do.
Which sort of tells you something about Sigma lenses I guess ...
Interesting the pixel peeping to look at the focus point illustrated how the 300mm was noticeably sharper wide open (f4) than the Sigma at 200mm (f2.8 ).
K-3, K-5 + D-BG4 Grip, Pentax: FA 50 1.4, DA* 300, Sigma 70-200 2.8 Macro HSM II, Sigma 18-50 2.8 EX DC, Metz 58 AF-1
I hadn't made any adjustment but prompted by this thread I checked my new DA* 300 which needed +3 on my K-5, then checked my Sigma 70-200mm 2.8, which needed -5
Is there a usable guide on how to do this (apart from the manual)?
Is a focus chart essential?
