Re: Focusing using manual lenses

If you are using manual focus lenses and relying on the camera to tell you when it is in focus either with the focus trap method or the focus confirmation beep, a focus adjustment may be needed to ensure that the lens is infact in focus when the camera thinks it is.

I was struggling with manual focus with my old helios lens so I did a focus test and found out it was way out. I adjusted and now I am getting much better results

Hope this helps
