It measures contrast, which, as in the MTF tables, relates to sharpness and therefore focus. I am not familiar with the Sinar focus assist. When I saw Stuart at Robert White a few months ago, there was a one point system, but he said that, about now, they were going to introduce the simultaneous three point system, so you can select any three points in any plane and simultaneously get numerical values for the sharpness of all three points - Ideal for setting up a view/monorail camera (like a Sinar) For use with a Sinar yaw-free monorail you would try to find points on the yaw-free axes to focus on. It would be possible to design a semi-robotic camera that would tilt/swing about any axis, and automatically put the plane of sharpest focus through those points... it would be nice to make it a PhD project! =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
