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

My lens is a Helios too.

Which kind of adjustment do you mean? Do you mean just focusing manually?

Are you using lcd screen and magnifier?
