I recently bought an FA 80-160mm f4.5 lens for the 645Z. It is front-focusing and I can not correct it with the 'Apply One' setting in the fine adjustment menu. Can anyone confirm if this lens is in the 645z database or not ? If it is only adjustable with the 'Apply All' setting It would be not so convenient to remember to zero the setting every time i change lenses. Any info appreciated. Thanks.

By chance I picked up a 80-160 last week and had no trouble with the 'apply one' AF fine tune, though it did only need a slight adjustment of -2. Perhaps this is something addressed in the latest firmware?

Thanks, firmware is up to date and fine adjustment works on DFA lens. A bit of a mystery.
