Here's one from my cousin's wedding last weekend. It's pretty noisy but I still like it. This focal length is seriously growing on me (on a 5D):

Do you increase the sharpness in post? I found that my lens was front focusing, so I used the MA on my 5dIII, at close distances the focus is fine, but a longer distances around 9-10 ft the focus is off, it just doesn't seem consistent.

What distance was the best to test the focus for MA? Those stupid paper charts are fine for pretty close focus, but what is a good real world distance? 1Dx | 5D III | 1D IV | 8-15 | 16-35L II | 24-70L II | 70-200L II | 400L II | 1.4x III | Σ85 | 100L | 3 x 600EX-RT | ST-E3-RT

Eddie xpfloyd lookalike More info | Jul 19, 2012 08:59 | #3296 kobeson wrote in post #14738288 Awesome! Thanks!! But... could you please explain that formula? I've never heard of that before, and it could come in handy for other lenses! EDIT - after applying this formula I soon realized that my 35L was spot on with no MA required. Also applied the formula to my 85 1.4 and now that is bang in also!! Thanks xpfloyd!! Yeah my 35 didn't need adjusting although my sigma 85 did. Someone posted a Canon document on here before and it explained the MA process as- Leica M11 | Leica Q2 | Sony α7RV

Someone posted a Canon document on here before and it explained the MA process as- 1 - set up camera on a tripod 2 - using live view at 10x magnification focus on the target which must be at least 50x the focal length away 3 - switch out of live view and focus again without touching lens If the focus ring moves it needs MA thanks for that ! i might have to take a look into that. i noticed that at +7MA, it's the sharpest from mfd to about 7-10 feet.
