...for micro adjusting lens on my Mark3? I want to see if I can bring them to maximum sharpness and has anyone noticed any truth to the -1 adjustment when using ai servo?

I dialed in my glass and it made my good glass amazing. I just took shots at +10 and -10 at various distances and subject. Then went to the computer to see which way was better. If it was + I would shoot +5 and +15 to narrow further...etc.

Takes some time but well worth it! Dont use the LCD for comparing

For best results try using a target at the distance you normally use the lens.
