Lee Kelly Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I was sifting through 50000000000 forum threads via a search and saw a post by someone (maybe one of the experienced guys) suggesting there was a trick used to find 'the sweet spot' on a dual focus setup. Does anyone remember that post??? It was something about setting your taking lens to inf and then rotating attachment focus ring til the background or bokeh looks right or something and locking that position in and then using your taking lens to focus??? Maybe I am tripping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roccoforte Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 No mater what, you have to adjust both lenses. What I do (or did before I got the Rectilux) is estimate the distance to the object, set both lenses to that distance, then tweak them both until it's sharp. rbbayliss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I am tripping? Look at this video at 4:30" This procedure is described by Eric Ivar Persson. Thanks Eric and all the people on this forum!!
