What's a yard?

Usually in the back of the house, grassy, and used for barbecues, family get-togethers, etc.

Small mirror, piece of foam board with newspaper taped flat to it and a ruler/marker to make a dark black line perpendicular to the newspaper.

Tilt at a 45 degree angle or so, use the mirror on a wall to verify lens is perpendicular, lower tripod column parallel to black mark, misfocus, use AF to focus on black line.

Viola.

$5.

Ahh, that's why it sounded so familiar.

yard stick or meter stick works equally well.
