Re: PESO FA 50/1.4 wide open
I have to calibrate as well. Looks good Paul!

*Very* nice, Paul. Now I really must do the cal thing. Darn! I thought I had found some spare time for testing my redeployed foot stool and reading.

Re: PESO FA 50/1.4 wide open
Thanks Bruce. I can't imagine that shooting wide open with this fast a lens is possible without fine focus adjustment. Very few screw drive lenses are perfectly accurate right out of the box.
