So I have embarked on the journey of adjusting all my lens (15+) across two cameras (K3 II and K1). I have referenced a great post by Class A and other references to
GhettoCAL (which I built today.)
I would like some opinions on the following:
On GhettCAL and other more costly solutions, the target to focus is about 3.5" to the left of the ruler with numbers to help with calibration. While this distance sounds small, according to Pythagoras, there is an impact.
By my calcs, if the target is 60" (5 feet) from my lens AND the number on the ruler are 3.5" to the right of the target, the distance to the number 0 on the ruler is actually 1/10" of an inch further.
Sqrt(60^2 + 3.5^2) = 60.101997 - so .101997 further.
Since we are trying to get a really accurate focus, does the 1/10th of an inch matter?
There is a chance I am being a BIT TOO precise, but this is stumping me a bit.

NOTE: I could just make a mark 1/10" close on the ruler to compensate. Does that make sense?
