Just purchased an RS2 pro combo and a 3D Focus sensor.
My lenses have electronic focus rings—no hard stops—and auto calibration fails miserably. Fortunately, I am able to configure the focus motor manual endpoints through the onscreen menus per the instructions. This works reasonably well: using the dial as a focus motor control, it respects my manual endpoints and has reasonable accuracy and linearity during use.
However, as soon as I try to start up 3D Focus and configure a lens, it forces me to do a focus motor auto calibration first. This clobbers my manual endpoint settings, and the auto calibration obviously fails. The lens calibration setup in 3D Focus will not let me keep my focus motor manual endpoints calibration, and it does not give me a way to "redo" the manual calibration—so basically I'm stuck and can't get past the first point of setting up 3D Focus.
The RS2 and the focus motor both support manual endpoints, but what's the point if the 3D Focus system disregards and overrides them? How do I calibrate a lens for 3D Focus with a manually endpoint-calibrated focus motor?
RS2 firmware is 01.03.00.50.
Thanks!
