  • The SpyderLENSCAL is designed to help you calibrate your camera's autofocus system. In this video, I show in detail how to use the tool with a DSLR and with a mirrorless camera.
    The SpyderLENSCAL is one of the tools in the four-tool SpyderX Capture Pro kit. Datacolor sent one of their brand-new SpyderX Capture Pro kits for me to test in my photography business. Check out the other Datacolor videos on our channel to watch detailed hands-on reviews of each of the tools in SpyderX Capture Pro kit - Spyder X Elite Colorimeter, SpyderCUBE, SpyderLENSCAL and SpyderCHECKR color calibration chart.

    Thank you, I have for many years the Lenscal and I need to adjust my D850 and my Z6 that are failing me, I needed to recover the memory and what better with your updated video.

    What I didn't like about the mirror less system is the exposed sensor. Canon EOS R made the right move to cover their sensor while changing lenses.

    Thank for this great video, I also want to check my Sigma Art lenses so I also bought a Sigma dock and a Lenscal to do so.
    This video is a bonus for me because I also have a D850 and love your explanation about calibrating a DSLR.

      I have the d850 too! Just bought the sigma 85 art 1.4 and I think I have to buy the sigma calibrator too

    The built in spirit level of my brand new lens cal is completely out of center. It is useless! Adjustment with my "eye level" was far more precise and sufficient. Thank you for the video.

    Mike my 70-200 f2.8 not calibrated after trying this process. Still it shows back focusing and reads 2 as sharp point even if I set the value to -20. What's the next?

    I can only really see this being useful for like a studio where the camera is always on a tripod that never moves.

    Thanks for the very informative video. Could you tell me do lenscal have a distance tool available so I can measure different lens distances ? Many thanks. :)

      Look for a video called "Datacolor SpyderLENSCAL Demo, available in CZcams it is very informative".

      I am using Maximafoto which is a similar product and this one has no such a tool.

  • @AllanElkaim
    @AllanElkaim Před 4 lety +2

    If I have a 24-70mm, at what distance should I position the focus chart ?

    • @sibzilla
      @sibzilla Před rokem

      25 to 50 times the focal length - of you go with 25 times 70mm and then 50 times 24mm, add the results together and divide by two you get 2.075m. Give that a go. Hopefully you didn’t wait 2 years.

  • @tracygunn3757
    @tracygunn3757 Před rokem

    I'm confused, the Syperlenscal guidebook says to put the focus on the smaller square right by the ruler not the center of the larger squares to the left

  • @boxoneedles
    @boxoneedles Před 3 lety +3

    This doesn't make sense: you first set the spirit level and then move the tripod....

    Great video and instructions, excpept you are talking metric with your camera then the distance in feet - how confusing Get with the times USA

      I know. Who in the right mind mixes systems. Optics and anything related with is metric.
