p.1 #1 · Alt MF lenses and Canon AF adjust

Folks,

Having acquired some C/Y manual focus lenses with adaptors for my Canon 5DMk2, I have a question.

Will adjusting the autofocus back/front settings affect manual focus lenses, or just autofocus ones?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I'm using AF-confirm adaptors. I'm just not where the AF-adjustment comes in the focussing cycle. (Of course, it should be obvious as I change the front/back focus with a specific lens, but with wide-angles, I find the required change in focus to be quite subtle.)

just tried it and a +15 was a big help on my cy lens but still not as accurate as live view
