Lens calibration on DSLRs is another long standing UHH discussion akin to JPEG vs raw, Mac vs PC, primes vs zooms, etc. With Mirrorless bodies, it’s not typically an issue, but with DSLRs, some pros do it religiously and some don’t. There are many ways to do it, but most require some subjective judgement by the user. One system that doesn’t is Riekan’s Focal - it provides a clear graph of acuity vs calibration or acuity vs fstop. Regardless whether you calibrate or not, it’s a great tool to tell objectively if a lens is up to snuff and where it’s the sharpest. I test all my lenses with it, whether DSLR or MILC, so I KNOW exactly what the acuity of each lens is and where it’s the sharpest. And for my DSLRs, I calibrate all my lenses, and I’ve found that the vast majority need some correction. What YOU do, is up to you.
