Please don't post plainly rude comments on Pentax User, civility costs nothing and is far more encouraging.

In any event, the letter H has itself got depth, so it's not a line to mark a point.

Brian's point is that the camera has moved between exposures, so the centre point, which is preumably where you have focused, has changed. In both images the centre point is sharpest but the piece of text is different.

It needs to be a more precise experiment, especially as you are adjusting in tiny increments. If the experimental error is larger than those increments then the results will not be reliable.

Pic one looks spot on to me, Nurse Todd is not in the center of the image, did you focus then recompose or change the focus point away from the center area to one of the outlying ones? if so you have intoduced an error in to your calculations.
Agree with this. The framing, and hence the centre position, in both images is different.

We were at Whitby today along with 37 other ADAPS members. Sue was dressed up as were several of our group, so we were photographers and photographees.

I didn't witness anything but good humour and a pleasant day was had by all. We dined at the Tanglewood on the way back and have just got in the door.

Pictures to follow!

Do you think it makes the models more comfortable more quickly Tim?

There's no doubt that it's possible to get a bit obsessive about lens calibration. I'm sure there's more need for it now with more complex lenses and possibly more batch testing that keeps costs down, but so far all my lenses and images look sharp and enlarge still looking sharp.

That being the case, I don't fret about it.
