Small compact and well printed.
A useful device if you are still shooting dslr's and wish to calibrate you lenses and mount a target on a tripod. Since I need to calibrate longer lenses outside this allows me to use natural light as I can place the target in the sun with a tripod. I wish it was larger and made of metal but it would cost a lot more, so this will do. It arrived in perfect condition and seems strong enough for careful use.
Not Worth the Pice
This tool is not a precise analytical tool to nail focus. You take a picture of the target, and then enlarge that image and use your eyeballs to determine if your lens is focusing correctly. It is partly guess work. The results can be skewed by your own vision, and it is difficult to tell of the focus is nailed on the Zero mark, which is the intended target, or one line above or below. What you end up with a result that is reasonably close. That is all fine, but considering all your getting is reasonably close result, buy a version of this tool that is much less expensive. It too will be reasonably close and some of these come with a nice bonus item like a pouch to store it in. With a reasonably close approach any one of them will do. Buy a cheap one.
