[Leica] Leitaxed R lenses on Nikon

[jayanand at gmail.com (Jayanand Govindaraj)]

As an aside in this discussion, for autofocus lenses and DSLR bodies - get
something like LensAlign and adjust the focus using the "AF Fine Tune"
function in the menu. The D700 has the capacity to store values for 12
lenses, and the D800 for 20 lenses. Once you test and store the values for
a lens, and switch on the "AF Fine Tune" function, the values will
automatically be used when you mount the lens. There is considerable
variance, so this is really worth doing.

Focusing with Live View will always be spot on because you are focusing the
image on the sensor itself, unlike an image on the viewfinder.

Cheers
Jayanand
