Calibration

[jds9000]

Has anyone ever had their lenses 'calibrated' with their camera ?

The reason I ask is because I now have 3 Canon L lenses,
which appear to give 3 different results .....

I've read on other forums about getting your camera and
lenses calibrated, but wondered if anyone here had tried it ?

Re: Calibration

It makes sense, as all lenses have small variations in spectral transmission, and some can have quite large differences.

That may explain why my first EP1 is sooooo bad.....

Re: Calibration

Interesting topic but totally new to me.
Can someone elaborate with the pros and cons

Edit after a google search.....
I found an article that gives step by step instructions for calibrating a lens mounted on a camera. Apparently you do need to own an upmarket camera as the lesser models will not have the calibration feature available.

It still made interesting reading ... HERE is the article link

Thanks Pops, great article, well spotted ..... I'll let you know what happens
Must admit, I haven't tried a custom white balance either, so have to give that a go too.

Have to find a big enough space to do it, as mine being a 300mm, and a 400mm, will need some distance to be able to focus
