I took a look in the user manual and couldn't locate this subject so decided to come here hat in hand...
I'm having my 7r converted to IR and one of the things I hope to be shooting shortly is lightning. I've done this in that past with non-converted cameras so that part isn't new to me. What's new for me is the lack on either the FE 35 or 55 of a manual focus switch (for lack of a better term). I understand and have used the little button to switch back and forth however when shooting lightning I need the lens to be on full time MF. So, barring using an actual lens that only shots MF is there some secret way of turning the AF off on these lenses? If not I can certainly use my Mamiya/Phase lenses and get the same focal length, just want to keep it light and easy.
TIA
