When I saw this I must admit I thought that it was made out of some sort of plastic which would keep for years and able to clean but how wrong I was, cheap recycle card which you bend together with a few lines and numbers printed on it....you also get a business type card telling you that you can have free tips on getting sharper images (what a joke)..you are better off printing some lines and numbers yourself, stick it on a clip board, resting it at 45 degrees and there you have it...total rip off for the price.....

Guide is quite easily misleading. Youtube shows better method to calibrate the AF of lens.

Strange, all my lenses had to be calibrated with their dedicated bodies.

Do not buy! It’s literally just cardboard & doesn’t calibrate the lens whatsoever

I wish I'd read the reviews before purchasing. Had I, then I would not have expected a precision calibration tool made of - oh, I don't know - precise hard plastic. Imagine my sheer confusion and dismay when I opened the Amazon box to find the "pyramid," yet it was flat. And made out of bend-and-fold-tab cardstock. You know, the photographer cousin to Steak-n-Shake's kids' menu (fold tab A into slot 1, bend until B folds into C, and now you have a nifty car!).So okay, moving on from the cardstock material and the absurd price of $25 (they even printed on the bottom to recycle it instead of throwing it away. For $25, I'm going to hold on to it until it's yellowed and brittle and must be kept in a nitrogen sealed environment to slow decay), as other reviewers pointed out, due to the material and tab insertion and whatnot, it doesn't exactly sit flat. Or level. Or consistent. If a precision calibration tool is not precise, what good is it?If it were made of hard plastic, I think it would be a winner and I - along with several reviewers - wouldn't feel gipped. As it stands, $25 for an inprecise cardstock bend-and-fold pyramid leaves a bad taste in my mouth - and question over whether my lenses are actually calibrated correctly.

I wish I had done more research before I purchased this item. Camera manufactures recommend your focus point be on a vertical plane not on an angle as this over priced gadget is designed.There is another version of this type of product for much less money where the focus target is at a 90 deg angle. I believe it is called DSLRKIT.

I joke of a product. Cheaply made, hard to put together junk. The lines are so tiny that it's difficult to distinguish them. There are no micro numbers between steps, you have to figure it out. Not that's its difficult, but you shouldn't have to. The price may seem right, but not if it doesn't work. If you want to really calibrate you lenses get the Colordata SypderLensCal. You can buy on on eBay for $50.00, which is what I did. I'm a professional photographer and need a calibration tool that actually works.

I can’t believe I have been a photographer for years and I’m JUST now getting this! It comes in flat and you fold it together. The directions are a little confusing, though. I ended up watching YouTube videos to figure it out because it’s specific to your camera settings! It’s a great tool to have on hand and I can calibrate all of my lenses! It’s a little overpriced for what you get, though!

Pretty good. I am now using this and a similar target to calibrate my lenses and am so glad I did not pay more for those "professional?" ones which do essentially the same thing. I love that it's small and did not add to the clutter of photo gear that I have. But I have to say that the gradient is a bit simplistic and for the most part the other target I bought works better because of it's variety of markings. This target with its scale/gradient is too close to laying out a ruler at 45° - it could benefit from added markings/patterns.

I bought this to aid in keeping my Leica M rangefinders in check, and I wanted something a bit more put together that I can trust - well, FAIL!The idea isn't a bad one, but it fails miserably in value because of construction and somewhat in design. First off, it's a glorified piece of paper, and doesn't even have lamination or protection which means it'll last you about as much as paper crane. Secondly, the lettering isn't bold enough to POP, and doesn't use the right typography for maximized optical viewfinder snap. Basically what that means is that although it's OK, for it's price pretensions, it ought to be a FAR better design.Don't buy it! Just don't!

My only issue is that it came bent. It must have been up against something cylindrical in the mail; when I put it together it would not sit flat on a surface, so I had to let it sit (unfolded) under a heavy book before it was usable. Although I am really grateful for this product and its ability to be flattened for storage purposes, I kind of wish it was a solid object so that you don't have to worry as much about creases and curves throwing off your measurements.

I admit that I haven't tried it yet. However, everything points to a sound mechanical way of zeroing in the focus. However, it is time consuming, so I would say to set aside a day. The reviews were all good. It is just made of cardboard and is smaller than I envisioned, but the printing is sharp as a tac. I don't think you will be sorry if you are willing to spend the time. I will update my review when I actually use it. Until this, I am just giving you my thoughts for decision-making.

Yes, this is a lot to spend if you're only considering the material it's made of. However, it is very quick and easy to calibrate my lenses without having to try to finagle a home-made set up so it's well worth the money.

For the price, it's not really that good. I was going to print out something and laminate it before seeing this online, figured it was much better for the price, but once I got it it is just hard paper that you fold and put together. Save yourself, find something online you can print and fold into a pyramid, it'll be a lot cheaper.

This does work, but the instructions included with it are not super helpful. However, that’s to be expected since every DSLR is different. Make sure you understand how to use your camera and understand focal lengths, etc. prior to jumping into using the pyramid. There’s a ton of videos out there that can help.

This thing is unusable. It won't fold or sit flat. The print resolution is so low as to make it impossible to tell whether focus has been made better or worse by adjustments. Returning. Don't waste your money. Just use a sheet, or something with visible texture, and calibrate with that.
