Is this a sign of "back focus" lens?

[kenny888]

hi all,

i've noticed something which is bothering me, i'm not sure if my lens has "back focus". i've posted some pics. could u guys help me to check pls?

in theory, DOF covers a zone of 1/3 in front of the focus point and 2/3 behind the focus point. so with this in mind, i began to shoot some figurines that i have at home.

here are pics that i shot with the first lens at different focus point.

focus on center

focus on the right

here are pics that i shot with another lens. it seems that this lens has back focus is it? or am i wrong? i'm very puzzled.

focus on the right

focus on center

pls advise. is my second lens having some problems? tks!

use a focus chart for more accurate test

Download the focus test chart here: http://focustestchart.com/focus21.pdf

Follow the instructions.

Do note:

1. Use a tripod. No handholding.
2, Be mindful of the MFD (minimum focusing distance) of each lens and make sure the chart is beyond MFD.

BTW... I have Del Piero.. And he is often my subject for lens tests too.

ooo i have that chart too. but to put it at 45 degrees exactly might be difficult. i'll try it out tmr. tks. coz as u can see in the pics, it seems that it has back focus, thats worrying me.

Don't have to be exactly 45deg la. Agar Agar.

if in doubt and have time, send the lens to the service center for testing.

You may use a lens test chart to do your own testing and know your equipment better.
ie resolution/coma/colour fridge
