dvx100 focus chart

[wonderwall]

i'm looking for a focus chart for my dvx, cause i seem to have a soft picture if i zoom in to focus, and then zoom out again.

the website below has been referred to lots of times. however, it only goes from MF50-99, but says nothing about MF49 and below.

does anyone know of a chart that includes the full range of focus?

"Barry Green's book has a focus chart in it and there are a handful of others on the web via Google search query = DVX and "focus chart". "

thanks.
i don't own barry's book, and i've looked all over the internet, searching under the dvx, focus chart, focus, etc....they all come up with the same focus chart, which ranges from MF 50 - 93. but does anyone know of a focus chart that includes MF 00 - 93?

When I do a Google search for: DVX + "focus chart"

..the second hit I get is a post from DVXUSER, now because the DVXUSER servers here changed recently if you click the google link you won't get to the info, so click on the 'cached' page link and you'll get this post from Barry:



"The problem with the chart is that each focus # on the DVX has a significant amount of "wiggle room"... i.e., the difference between 89 and 90 is about 13 feet! There's enough movement on the ring between those numbers that they could probably have spelled out 89.1, 89.2, 89.3, etc.

In any case, here's the updated numbers for the 100A:

1' 11.5" 37
2' 0.75" 38
2' 1.5" 39
2' 2.25" 40
2' 3.25" 41
2' 5.25" 42
2' 6.75" 43
2' 8.25" 44
2' 10.25" 45
3' 46
3' 2.25" 47
3' 4" 48
3' 6.75" 49
