LensAlign® or DIY alternative?

Does anyone own a LensAlign calibration system

or had a go at a DIY alternative?

How much were your lenses out by? Did you adjust only primes or zooms as well?

How about a another free one... http://pentaxdslrs.blogspot.com/2008/06/part-1-autofocus-adjustment-for-pentax.html :th3:

Yes, I micro adjust. The same lenses on the K-7 are slightly different on the K-5

I have a lens AlignPro. I wasn't happy with my 600/4. I simply could get sharp images when using my 1.4x extender. I found that the 600 + 1.4x was front focussing which explains my issues. I dialed in +2.

Now my birds are razor sharp :D

It was when you posted the link!! I had a look and downloaded the pdf. Today the link is gone and replaced with a Buy Now @ 99c. Pretty good value really, but there are free options.
