[PRODIG] Re: Front Focus on the 10D

[Clive Bubley]

Sure. I set up a tape measure on the floor and placed a film carton 
on the 30cm mark - about the centre of the frame when shooting down 
at an angle of about 45 degrees. Using the centre point, which had 
been selected as the focus lock position, I focused on the film 
carton. The result was that the carton was slightly out of focus but 
the tape measure's mark at app. 27.5cm (just in front of the carton) 
was sharp.

I repeated this procedure a number of times in different locations 
with similar results.

This is roughly the test that Canon carry out, only they use a white 
board with horizontal lines printed on it at centimetre intervals, 
with a large X in the centre as the point to focus on (one of their 
test shots was left on the CF card in the camera).

 I had a problem with the dreaded front focus problem with my 10D 
(its not a myth!)

Could you elaborate on this please?
