I am wondering when you do the microadjustment with FoCal do you leave your UV filter on or take it off.  I presently using B&W XS Pro on my lenses.

Since AFMA is calculated using internal functions it technically shouldnt matter if you leave it on or take it off.  I would take it off if it were me (I dont use filters on my lenses). 

However you can also run a sharpness test with the pro version and it will cycle through every F stop and calculate the best Fstop for the sharpest image.  Test with and without the filter to see how much your filter is affecting your images.

Question about AFMA for two 5D3s. Do I need to do each AFMA separately or can I just use the settings from the first body and copy it to the second?

You have to do it for each body.  The whole point of a AFMA setting is to correct the slight differences in lenses and bodies.  One body may be off by -2 and a lens may be off by +2 which means it focuses just fine (net of zero) but the other body may be off by -6 and the same lens is off by +2 for a net of -4.

I see, is it typically done for all the lenses you use or just the ones you are having issues with?

All of them since you may not realize that you are not getting the sharpest image possible.  Some of my lenses I thought were pretty good actually needed a fair amount of correction.  They are crazy sharp now.

Sounds good, thanks. I'm going to try them all tonight when I get home.
