i saw that just after i posted. sorry all.

no problem, that original thread doesn't have "Reikan FoCal" in the title, so its easy to miss.

I bought it today and I'm trying to use it, but it keeps giving me an errory saying

The camera is not currently setup to use the CENTRE focus point - please correct this

I CERTAINLY have the center focus point selected, but it keeps giving me this error. Anyone else experience this? I've emailed the developer, and waiting for a response.

Same here.....

Wiindows 7, Canon 1D Mark 3, Sony Vio laptop.

Tried 1.3.1.93, uninstalled and installed 1.3.0.91, no change.....

Suggestion noted, bounced sunlight with mirror to target and now it works great! I'm going to retry tonight when it's darker out to reproduce problem..

Thanks for your suggestion.
