Originally posted by Miguel Hold it: perhaps I'm up too late, but AF adjustment is intended for AF lenses because these are controllable by the camera's software (or firmware, whatever). Older manual focus lenses are not adjustable except for the diopter. So, what are you adjusting here?

Yes, there is... if you mount the manual focus lens on the camera, you can go to customs C.26, turn the feature ON, and then adjust accordingly. Since this adjustment applies to 'all' lenses mounted on the camera, it is better to save this setting in a USER mode (for example, I have one user-mode for m42 lens and another user-mode for K-mount MF lens - they are different because you can use Av mode for m42 lens but only M mode for K-mount MF lens).
With my regular FA, DA and DA* lenses, I use 'plain' Av mode with auto-ISO almost all the time. By the way, there is also a 'per-lens' AF adjustment under C.26 as well if needed.
Hope you did not write off any of manual focus lenses yet....

Originally posted by Lowell Goudge It depends. If you are using the green hexagon as the focus indicator, making an adjustment can help, because you are using theAF system to make the decision of in focus.
I use a split image focusing screen myself
Lowell, you are correct if you use the split image focussing screen like Katz-eye; probably more straight forward and accurate if you have good eyes. In that case, how would you set your AF.S setting, release priority?
