Lens alignment at DVinfo.net

David M. Cole · March 13th, 2013, 05:40 PM

I have a set of Canon 16-35mm lenses for my Scarlet rig that have a substantial offset, which is most noticeable at the 16mm end. Does anyone happen to know how to shim Canon lenses for alignment?

Thanks for any ideas.

PS - these are consecutively numbered serials hand pulled from inventory from B&H... so much for that old trick.

No zoom lens tracks perfectly. All you can do is shim the camera mount.
