FocCal 2.4XL - Lens Calibration

FocCal 2.4 XL

front focus/back focus lens calibration

This tool is helpful for lens controlling and micro-calibration (front focus/back focus) from the digital camera level (micro-calibration function in the camera is required).

You don’t have to set the camera at an 45° angle, so this tool is more practical than just a simple, flat paper with a printed scale. Just set the camera in front of the contrasting target plate (at the “zero” line level) and start the lens micro-calibration. You can use different lenses without changing the camera height on a tripod, which is convenient when you have several lenses (tele, wide, standard). The printout fits on an A4 sheet so you can print it on your home printer.

Structurally, it is practically no different. Has different graphics, but works on the same principle.
