How long they take to calibrate a lens? Feel like sending my entire arsenal for calibration tomorrow since I'm free.

Pengster. The friendly guy is the brother I think.

Giggsy: so what she's married. I also married and yet so many ppl look at me cos I so handsome. Hahaha. 

I like going pertama to get my stuffs. Think tanks, that's where I go.

Yday : I took my 55-250 and my 135mm test side by side, wah the color from the 55-250 really different. Not cun!!

I know then I need to save more liao...
Bingo! You really know me too well.
Now I have the sufficient cash to get a used Tamron 17-50mm non-VC already but scared regret pulak.
What is that to congratulate for? Read goldfries' first post. No congrats post.
And what for to chase Sony thread? There is no gift for winner.

Main factor - Budget issue
Second factor - Saw online reviews, non-VC version performs well too.

1.1k of course used la ..but after checking no back & front focus issue..no scratch or anything..sharp..ah...hentam la..

P/S: Seems like many ppl recommend 10-22 over 11-16..

Aiyooooooo, u think he dont have CPS ka?

I have 8 PowerEXs with the same problem. Got to know it was a batch problem and exchanged it with Imedions, just like what ViKing did 

@myjunk i can't remember where i read it, but apparently for perfect results either you use AF microadjustment, or you calibrate your entire arsenal i.e. body and all lens.

Something to do with tolerances e.g. if your camera front focuses +2, and your lens back focuses -2, then the combination of that cam+lens = perfect focus.

But if you sent your cam in to calibrate, then canon calibrates it to 0, then suddenly now your cam + your lens not perfect anymore

No idea how true that is lar, and I also can't find the link anymore.

Habisssssssss. YL Camera lost my business oredi. My wife took me to go buy 300mm f2.8L from them today but the boss got my wife all pissed off. Stupid fella said no testing coz it's too troublesome to take it out! After all the money I've spent there, he tells me it's too troublesome!!!!!!!

the read and write speed is important for these factors

1) Write speed important for getting the pics from your camera buffer into your card so that your camera buffer can be cleared FAST. If your card is slow, be prepared to wait for the buffer to clear until you can SPAM the shutter again. (takes as long as 2+min during one of the tests I did. Google LYN for mynick I guess..

2) Read speed when tranferring your data from your card to your PC. You're now limited to USB2.0 USB speed of 480mbps which is MAX theoretical 60mb/s, but you will average ~max 30mb/s. Hence, that speed is also important so you don't have to wait long long for the pics to finish copy to your HD.

I just did the AF adjustment --> http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article...adjustment.html

my 24-70 +3
My 136L -6
my 30mm 1.4 +3

I wanted to do my 55-250, then when I started, I found.. aiyah.. no distance scale. Dunno how to see if the focus is spot on.

Oh well...

time to sleep.
