Is there any way to expand dottune values from 100 to 150? I have some old lenses that need a lot of focus correction. 100 is not cutting it.
I downloaded the source files and there is a range expand integer in dottune.c is this the range expand factor that overrides canon default 20?
Can some help me compile this module. Tried 2 times to download cygwin. Failed.
It sounds like the maximum theoretical values are +/-127 (as per http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=4648.msg27254#msg27254), though I doubt that's ever been tested. As far as I know you're the first person that's ever needed to go beyond 100.
I know this link has been posted before: but it represents good background.

It is mostly for old lenses M42/p6/ medium format etc..
I would like to have focus confirm in the viewfinder. Most of my work is done in studio and most of the time I work through the viewfinder.
I can get razor focus with live view but it slows me down drastically.
I thought there was a reason why values over 100 were not valid, but can't recall now. I recall others trying (or requesting at least). Have you read through the dottune thread?
I think it was me in dottune thread asking :)
I have few problems compiling. I had made changes to the dottune code.. but can't compile/make. I have problems with cygwin..
You might want to use a prebuilt vm. I linked one last year:
