ACCURACK Richard Adkins roadtests the focus fixer

Real men don't eat quiche. And real News Photographers don't use auto-focus. While you might find some of the hardened photogs at Sunday Brunch covertly enjoying a broccoli quiche, most News Photogs resist the temptation of allowing a tool to help them frame and focus a shot. So when the developer of ACCURACK blatantly pitched his invention on the b-roll.net Message Board, Veteran photogs were quick to dismiss it as an unnecessary accessory that a true professional can do without. Photogs bragged they didn't need a tool to help them roll focus, claiming instead that talented fingers could do the work.

ACCURACK is a soft plastic track with moveable thumbscrew stops that neatly wraps around the focus ring of a television camera lens. A separate brake bar attaches to the existing accessory screw holes in the lens. By moving the stops, the device allows photographers to set a near and far focal length and roll between them flawlessly.

The developer of ACCURACK claims this simple device makes accurate rack focusing easy for the E.N.G. photographer.

Richard W. Adkins tried the ACCURACK for two weeks, using it on a Cannon HJ16x8B HD Lens.
