@Maxim88 SIGMA 40mm F1.4 DG HSM Art Focus Adjustment

It is a great lens but in my experience, it is calibrated for medium and far distance out of the factory (at least the copy I have owned).  In Sigma's term, the median distance is either 3m or 5m for this lens (I don't remember the exact as this was 5-6 years ago).  My copy back-focuses a lot when taking pictures at a close distance.  Looking at the photo you posted, it is obvious that you are taking the leaves at a close distance.

You don't need to send it back to Sigma for calibration and the focus calibration also has to do with the tolerance level of the camera you are using.  You need a lens calibration tool like LensAlign mk II, a tripod, the Sigma USB dock, and lots of time.

The process is to set the alignment tool at close/medium/far distance, put the camera on the tripod, and take a picture of the alignment chart.  You load it up on your computer and decide if it is back focus or front focus.  You use Sigma USB dock software to adjust the focus adjustment per distance.  The process is repeated so that you get pin-sharp focus directly out of the camera.  Please make sure that any focus adjustment setting on the camera is turned off (I am sure 5Ds has this feature).

这个很cool还可以自己调整镜头, 他可以先用live view自己先判断一下。 -移花接木- 给 移花接木 发送悄悄话 移花接木 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 08/06/2024 postreply 16:07:21

感謝E大師的点拔,您讲的 focus calibration, 已經远远地超過了俺的能力范围. -Maxim88- 给 Maxim88 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 08/07/2024 postreply 10:27:15

不过俺有一个問題請教一下E大師, 是不是每一个副厂出产的鏡頭在使用之前 都需要做focus calibration? -Maxim88- 给 Maxim88 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 08/07/2024 postreply 10:31:20

俺的意思是针对自己所使用的 Nikon or Canon 相机 -Maxim88- 给 Maxim88 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 08/07/2024 postreply 10:33:24

换个mirrorless 吧,从原理上排除对焦偏差 -移花接木- 给 移花接木 发送悄悄话 移花接木 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 08/07/2024 postreply 10:38:40

不一定 -eth- 给 eth 发送悄悄话 eth 的博客首页 (177 bytes) () 08/07/2024 postreply 10:45:55

这不是副厂的问题,原厂镜头有同样问题 -eth- 给 eth 发送悄悄话 eth 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 08/07/2024 postreply 10:48:12

我再請教一个問題, 相机生产廠商在卖相机套机的時候, 它們套装的镜头是否和相机进行了focus calibration? -Maxim88- 给 Maxim88 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 08/07/2024 postreply 13:23:07

都经过厂家校验,除了镜头,机身也可能有对焦偏差,你需要先确定是镜头还是机身,补偿很简单就在相机的使用说明里 -移花接木- 给 移花接木 发送悄悄话 移花接木 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 08/08/2024 postreply 03:24:33

不会 -eth- 给 eth 发送悄悄话 eth 的博客首页 (1333 bytes) () 08/08/2024 postreply 11:45:14

Canon 5DM4 的 micro adjustment 是解決其自身的問題? 还是其配搭的镜头的问题? 多谢! -Maxim88- 给 Maxim88 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 08/09/2024 postreply 08:32:08

还是解決机身与鏡头的兩者加起來共同的的問題? 多謝!!! -Maxim88- 给 Maxim88 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 08/09/2024 postreply 08:43:26

机身上micro adjustment是适配到具体镜头的 -eth- 给 eth 发送悄悄话 eth 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 08/09/2024 postreply 11:48:00

就是能解決 ….机身与鏡头的兩者加起來的問題? -Maxim88- 给 Maxim88 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 08/09/2024 postreply 12:42:54

是的,但是不可以具体聚焦区间的调整 -eth- 给 eth 发送悄悄话 eth 的博客首页 (49 bytes) () 08/10/2024 postreply 14:07:03
