Reikan offers two versions of FoCal: Plus and Pro. FoCal will tell you if the camera is capable of this when you connect it. Note that if your camera supports it, you can run the calibration for the wide-angle and telephoto ends of a zoom lens and have different microadjustment settings for each. Here’s my lens at 105mm before (left) and after calibration and also the Lens Profile chart showing the microadjustment test data: FoCal generates a detailed report of each test (Pro version only, see below), including sample images so that you visually verify the improvement in focus sharpness. The 24mm setting was so close it didn’t need adjustment, but the 105mm setting was very far out of calibration. I had it test and calibrate my Canon 24-105mm f/4L at both 24mm and 105mm. Here’s one very tangible test result from my first run with the software.

Also, this was my first time ever using the application, and I absolutely did not read the manual before trying it out. I was able to test and adjust microfocus on all 5 of my AF lenses in about 35 minutes, and that includes about 15 minutes of setup time. But after testing FoCal 2.6 with my Canon 6D and set of AF lenses, I can verify that it is indeed a relatively painless process. If you find that the process of manually testing and adjusting your camera body for autofocus microadjustment on all your lenses is tedious and time-killing, definitely consider spending a few dollars on Reikan’s very awesome FoCal 2.6 software and let your computer do all the work.
