Product description
Manufacturer's Description
Solution Many newer DSLR cameras now offer a method to correct this issue: they allow you to store auto-focus correction data for several of your most important lenses. This feature is likely to become more common, and appear in other camera types. SpyderLensCal was designed to aid in correcting the auto-focus on your camera and lens combinations and storing them in your camera's custom settings.
Feature SpyderLensCal provides photographers with a fast, reliable method of measuring the focus performance on camera and lens combinations. It allows photographers to obtain razor-sharp focusing, using modern DSLR autofocus micro-adjustment. The SpyderLensCal device is affordably priced, compact, lightweight and durable, with integrated level and tri-pod mount.
Benefit SpyderLensCal allows photographers to easily calibrate their interchangeable lenses and recent DSLR bodies. There is no need to ship lenses and bodies back to the manufacturer any longer if you have the tools to do it yourself. Performing a Lens Calibration on each of your key auto-focus lenses can improve the number of usable shots from a day's shooting. And with a rugged, portable device such as SpyderLensCal, photographers can carry it on site or even on safari, so that lens calibration can be checked and adjusted if hard use or extreme weather may have caused changes.

I have two issues with this calibrator. Firstly, the ruler part has a slight curve & more seriously, the built in level is way out of true. For this sort of money, this is unacceptable, I’m sorry to say. Th greater the resolution of your camera's sensor, the easier this tool is to use. It is recommended you multiple the focal length by 25 to 50. I'd add the target needs to be close enough to easily resolve the horizontal lines on the ruler because the calibrator is quite small. I consider this calibrator to be poor value.
My camera has the facility to pair with a given lens and, with the right tools, or by simple experimentation, trial and error, this can be corrected. I've tried to do this in the past with home-made focus calibration devices, but never with much success.
I spotted this tool while looking for some lens-caps and thought I would give it a try.
It's easy to set up, and with the bit of research (there's a number of YouTube videos' that demonstrate how to use this tool), I was able to calibrate all of my lenses in a few hours.
Having gone through the calibration procedure, I've found that all of my lenses back-focused to a greater or lesser degree, and the one lens that was clearly a long way out of whack is back in trim again and now focuses to perfection.
So, five stars for Accuracy, and five stars for ease of use. It takes a bit of practice, but within a few tens of minutes, I was able to able to make adjustments on my camera quickly and accurately based on the information gleaned from using the tool.
Four stars for value for money. It's a damn good tool, no question, but it's very expensive for what is only a bit of moulded plastic with stickers on. Having said that , it's a fraction of the cost of several of my lenses, so I guess it's not a ridiculous price to pay.
If you absolutely must have pin-sharp images and your camera is capable of retaining the micro-focus adjustments necessary to get the best out of the lenses, then this is a great little gadget.
I had been angling a ruler and ................... to test lenses / focusing but this makes the process much more straightforward and more informative. I now KNOW why my 135mm F2 lens is so poor wide open on a DSLR in a way that I did not notice on film and I know what I need to stop the lens down to in order to get suitable sharpness and lose the fringing.
I have used this more for 'analysing lens performance' than any of the front / back focus 'issues'.
NB: ALERT: in-camera focus corrections are for one focal length at a given distance ( some cameras do have 3 focal length settings for zooms ). In-camera focus micro-adjust was introduced for professional photographers 'in the field' who had a problem develop and no service centre available. If your lens is truly out on its focusing and you use that lens at more than one distance / focal length then micro-adjust is not a replacement for a full calibration service that will re-write the lens data tables.
