I have been shooting all film for the last few months but lifted the K-5 with the 50 135 for the first time today to take some shots for a friend. To my horror when shooting at apertures of 2.8, 3.5 and even 4 were slightly out...

I know how to find the focussing correction thing on the camera but how the heck do you go about correcting front / back focus issues - all help and comments welcome

Cheers

Sue a tripod, first shot in AF mode the in live view. Maintain same distance and settings and see if the lens shows a distance difference. Live view is the accurate one, so if there is a difference in AF mode distance recalibrate and shoot (+-)
