40D Microadjustment???

[btaylor]

Hi guys,


At the moment I am constantly frustrated by my 40D front focusing [:@] I have found myself switching to live view to get perfect focus a lot lately as one of my pet hates is slightly OOF images. But that's not optimal andI just can't accept the fact that a rather expensive (well when I bought it anyway) piece of gear doesn't perform as well as I'd like.


I could send the camera away to be calibrated but I don't really want to be out of a body for any length of time. I'm not really willing to buy a 50D/7D because my goal is to go full frame before the end of the year so an "in between" upgrade probably won't satisfy me.


I know there's some different firmwares out there for the 5DII but I'm struggling to find something similar for the 40D. Anyone know ofa non-Canon firmwarefor the 40D that includes AF Microadjustment?


Thanks in advance,


Ben.

I haven't heard of any.

My guess is that sending it in is the only way to fix it. About 6 months ago my 40d was having backfocusing issues and I ended up sending it in for repair. It turned out that the lens mount had been slightly tweaked from the constant stress of heavy telephoto lenses.
