Just wondering if anyone has experience with sigma 50 and 85 mm with micro adjustment on bodies like the 7D, 5D2 & 3, and 1D Mark IV

7D micro adjustment works fine with my Sigma 30mm. Just needed +6 and it is now dead on all the time.

Always had tough luck on 50 1.4, but 85 1.4's have been pretty good with adjustments ranging from 0 to +3 at the most.

Have any of you used Relkan FoCal software for MA calibration. http://www.reikan.co.u​k/focal/ (external link)
If so would appreciate your comments on it as well.
