1. Preparation
Take Vespid 50mm as an example:
Step One : Ready your subject and calibration tool. You can use a “Star
Chart”, or other high-resolution black-and-white objects; download the “Back
focus Calibration Tool for Prime Lens”(short for “Calibration
Tool”) on the official website.
Note : You can download and print the chart on DZOFILM website-Download-Star

website
Step Two : Attach the lens to the camera and adjust the aperture to T4;
Step Three : Make the pointer align with the 1.6m scale on focusing ring,
paste calibration tool on the ring with middle line of the tool aligning the
1.6m scale and the scale pointer (or choose 5′ focusing scale).
Step Four : Set the object 1.6m away from the camera sensor plane, and adjust
it to the center of the whole image. T4 Aperture
2. Flange Back Adjustment
Please adjust as the following steps: Step One : Rotate the focus ring until
the image to its clearest. Take the horizontal line in the middle of the
calibration tool as the reference and observe the position of the deviating
scale pointer to get the number of horizontal lines.
Note: The direction of infinity indicates positive deviation value.
The direction of the closest focusing distance indicates negative deviation
value. If there are more than three horizontal lines, add or subtract the
corresponding value.
Example: If the scale pointer points to 3 spaces in the direction of the closest focusing distance, the deviation value is -3. If the scale pointer points to 4 spaces in the direction of infinity, the deviation value is +4. At this situation, the shim value of “+3” needs to be added to the shim value of “+1”. Step Two : According to the deviation value and the reference below, add or subtract the corresponding shim to complete the flange back adjustment.
Note: Shim adjustment: “+” means adding shims, and “-” decreasing shims. Data in this sheet might have deviation and just for reference. Please adjust based on actual situation.
