As I got some questions and requests from my fellow viewers, I made this video: It's about how to use your manual focus lens and to show you some tricks and infos!

1. What are all those numbers and markings for?
2. What's the depth of field scale?
3. And how does zone focusing work?

All this is, of course, valid for manual lenses on both analog or digital cameras!
