K10/100D focus test chart

2007-02-27 Thread K.Takeshita
I stumbled upon a test chart for k10/100D.   There is nothing special about
the test chart itself as it is a classic way of measuring the focus point
and DOF etc.  But this one has Pentax log on it, making it look like made by
Pentax :-).  I do not think Pentax made this, but it appears that you can
just print this and assemble a scale box which might be handy for those
interested in, or too clumsy or lazy to make these things.
There is another guy who made not only a similar chart but a software to
produce a graphic display of where the focus point is.

Anyway, here are the templates (might take a while to download);

For K100D:

For K10D:

I have not examined this in detail on how to use it, i.e., if there is any
set distance to place this etc.

Hi Walt, 

Yeah, I realized that their (Yahoo!) server is busy or no service.  It's
midnight there and for some reason, geocity server there is often not
available. What you are seeing is a message, saying try later :-).
When it opens, it is a PDF which is a precise drawing to scale which you can
cut (after printing) and assemble.
If you really want to see it, you might try it tonight.  I could open it
last night but not this morning.

You can try from here, and open two separate PDFs from there.  I could open
them now.  I save PDF files.

K10/100D focus test chart

2007-02-27 Thread Walter Hamler
I printed it out, cut it out, and assembled. My daughter, a kindergarten 
teacher, asked me what I was doing. I replied that I was working on Pentax 
Paper Doll cutouts. So, she proceeds to show me Canon Paper doll cutouts on 
the web! But these really were paper dolls.
BTW, the focus checker worked as advertised and my K10 is perfect with both 
the 18~55 and the 50~200, Didn't test the FE Zoom ...what't would be the 
point! :-)
