I would think the reason SR doesnt work well for macro is that the
effective focal length of the lens gets significantly longer when
in macro mode causing a mismatch of SR parameters and lens in use.

I think the only way one could adjust for manual focus would be by shimming the
screen. I haven't seen anything to indicate that manual focus is less than
precise on any of my recent Pentax cameras. The autofocus adjustment is
electronic and done by means of the menu. I fine tune autofocus on

I partly agree with Paul. What you could gain, though, is to match matte screen
focus with the hexagonal AF indicator.
I believe you can only match one MF lens, since all MF lenses look the same to
the camera eletronics.
