FINE FOCUS
-
RACK & PINION FOCUSER
Focusing a DSLR is far more
critical than focusing an SLR
because the DSLR sensor is
flatter than the depth-of-
focus, whereas 35mm film is
bowed towards the pressure
plate by several hundredths of
an inch (by approximately
twice the film thickness). The
only way to critically focus a
DSLR is by making small
incremental adjustments of
the focuser's fine focus knob.
A high quality rack & pinion or
Crayford focuser, with a 10:1
fine focus knob is the
minimum requirement.
