This is what I got from my research
QUOTE
Calibrating your lens is simple. First, find a suitable static target to focus on. With both eyes open, adjust your camera so that one eye is looking through the viewfinder. Focus your lens at your target as you normally would.

Now, with both eyes open and focused on your target, slowly rotate your zoom ring until your image is sharp and your eyes no longer feel strained. Refocus your lens if necessary and repeat the procedure. You will get to a magic point where your focus and depth perception are “normal”.

At this point, you should be able to remove and replace your camera from your eye with no apparent change in your target. Your lens is now calibrated to your eye. You can optionally create a small mark on your zoom ring that corresponds to the mark on the body. Later on, when you need a “normal” lens, just rotate your zoom ring to that mark, and voila.

does it means leave the mark where the lens come into it's sharpest? hmm.gif and use the lens on it mark left to gain it's sharpest result?
can anyone give me a hint?

usually higher end bodies have microadjustment/AF fine tuning..by that u can try out ur focusing is correct onot. if got rajin, the whole day can try from +20 drop 1 by 1 to -20 laugh.gif

duno if entry level bodies got this feature onot. but usually its kinda important for those who do macrowork. and usually 3rd party lenses oni have this back/front focusing issue. dont know if normal nikkor lenses got onot.

As long as the focus in the focus box of the focusing chart should be fine right?
I guess I have no problem then biggrin.gif hahaha

guys, if i were to replace my kit lens 18-55 with a tight budget :
1. strictly below 1.5k
2. strictly below 2k
what would u guys suggest me to get for each category above?

i plan to get an all-in-one/walkabout lense in the coming months (funding! haha). sometimes lazy to bring so many lenses and change it on the go.
wide + tele. macro & VR feature is a big plus!

<1.5k :: sigma 18-200 (new) / sigma 17-70 f2.8-4 (used) ?
<2.0k :: nikkor 18-200 vr1/vr2 (used) / nikkor 16-85 (new)?

*however i feel 70mm or 85mm kinda limited sometimes, cant zoom much though it is a slightly better zoom than my kitty lens. huhu.

as stated in my siggy, currently owns: d3100 + 18-55mm + 35mm f1.8g + nissin di622 mkII
thanks!

get 16-85 nikon. it will please you in the long run. smile.gif
nice walk around lens. except in low light due to small aperture.
else you might consider 17-50 sigma or tamron. I prefer sigma though tongue.gif
