LensAlign Pro Plus Calibration System...my experience
Did you send it back after you realized it was not for you?
So what differently does Canon do to make things right with a lens and how?

Yes, I have used one and find it no better than either the $15 solution (which I bought out of curiosity) nor the methods I have used. The LensAlign would be a decent value at $25. At the price they are charging it is ridiculous. I\'m the first one to advocate buying a product if it saves you time (i.e. time=money) but my time is not worth $180 (or $249!!) for 5 minutes (i.e. $2160/hr) of thought and work. The whole deal is so over the top in expense and fabricated complication that even I can\'t go for it. Gadget freak that I am, that is saying something - just ask my wife.
The principles behind this are just not that difficult to understand, and in fact are pretty darn (ridiculously) simple and easy to create with common items. In fact, if you don\'t understand them, then you need to spend some time until you do so that you learn about your equipment and how it operates. Once you do, then you see why you don\'t need this thing. That is why I think this thing is beyond foolish to purchase, IMO. I do think it is a sucker sort of item.

How much did you pay for your LensAlign?
