[QUOTE="Rexer John, post: 158395, member: 12691"] It does but it's inside the camera body (a 2mm hex if I remember correctly) and shouldn't be messed about with unless the user knows what they are doing. Adjusting correct for one lens may put other lenses off from neutral bias. Samsonite, there are guides for checking front/back focus but they are usually centred at around 2 to 3 metres. The easiest way for a longer distance as ion your case is as follows.... Get a static object at your focal point and have reference objects in front & behind to check depth of field. Take a few shots in live view, refocussing each time, this is your reference using contrast detection. Now take the same shot through the viewfinder, if they are the same as your earlier shots, your lens is focussing correctly. If not, you could go into the camera body but it's a case of adjusting the mirrors to get the auto focussing centred. [/QUOTE]
