The focus adjustment is only for autofocus lenses. I’m not sure, but I believe that it is a general type of setting, rather than lens specific. The user manual for the camera should be clear in that regard.
It depends, I think. If you like to rely on the red dot focus indicator a manual lense can have front- or backfocus all the same like an af lens. The only difference lies in the motor, wich you do substitute by turning the focus ring. The internal optical elements are being moved to the focussing point either driven internally by the motor or externally by turning the ring. As soon as the red dot focus indicator shows up you stop turning the ring. The motor driving an af lens would stop it's movement right there too, simultaniously to the appearance of the red dot. So in case the red dot is used as a focus point reference, in my opinion the adjustment of the cameras' af to a manual lense will makes sense.

Edit: found misspellings, and sorry for my quirky english as I guess, not a native speaker here ;-)

One of your best shots , Paul .
Thanks, glinda! The place has a lot of special memories for me.

Evening dogwalk with the Quantaray (Sigma) 28-90 on K100D. That little zoom was quite good for the price.

This is mysterious to me too. I also chose No 0 to adjust and left the other numbers untouched. In my understanding the adjustment is general, but I will try it with another lens to maybe learn more because I had a manual lens attached which is not recognized even on the K5, leaving only the option to make a general adjustment.
When you find out will you let me know ? Thanks .

I bought a cheap Miranda 28mm f/2.8 MC lens off Ebay a while back, and decided to test it out today. This is just a test to see how well it shows details and colors and different textures up close, in a dark room. This is a manual lens. Keep in mind I'm a total newbie - so that's why the photo looks a bit dark. The original RAW photo looks much better and sharper, but I had to convert it to jpeg to upload it here.

The bad news? I only got to take around five more photos with it, and then the focus ring was completely stuck. So now it's useless, and I have no idea how to fix it.

After reading through some information I found online, all I can say you did well in leaving the value of the test area at 0, as this seems to be related to the central focus point. Furtheron, the adjustment has effect on all lenses, so there is no way to adress settings specifically to different lenses. That's what I found out.

Who likes old metal lunchboxes?

This was my mothers lunchbox in second grade, in the 60's. All metal construction. I love the signs of use around the corners of the lunchbox - gives it that extra vintage look.
