Focal Reikan

[Bear Dale]

I've been following the development of this software for a few months.

I bought it a few weeks ago and was thoroughly impressed.

I always wanted something better than focus charts to adjust lens calibration. The Pro version of this software is fully automated and was a total breeze to use. I can highly recommend it if your interested in MA and have a body that is compatible for Micro Adjustment and suitable for use with the software.

If you do a Google search, there are some huge threads on International forums discussing the use of the software and results at great length.

Here's a link to the developers website -

Just to add to this
The cost in AU$ and time to deliver or just a software d/l with serial number
and is it for all type of DsLR's and limited to 5 camera bodies?

i have just purchased the pro version of this @ approx $75aud
just started using it but already some of the extra features such as best lens aperture are outstanding.
no more paper test charts for me!
