I have not heard of this before. Could you please explain what you are doing and why would you align your lens. I am aware of listing certain lenses on my D7000 so the camera will know what to do with it, such as the Nikon 500mm f8 mirror lens, but I don't think this is the same thing you are talking about.
Thanks,

Hi Dennis, well it's a misnomer because in fact you aren't altering your lens but aligning your body to the lens. You use AF and basically focus on a target with a means of determining where your focus is, FF front focus or BF back focus and if your camera has the capability you go into the menu and make the corrections. There was a gentleman on this forum complaining about a new lens that he had bought because on one body it was a +13 and on another body it was a -11 and he thought he had a bad lens. Depending on what body you have you could do the alignment for all your lenses even the mirror lens. Hope this helps.
