Question: 5D3 with manual focus lens and lighting

I have an issue with manual focus lens and the wireless trigger/flash does not work. Anyone know why? Elinchrom skyport and just a normal 480exii does not work with a manual focus lens with no AF confirmation. Love to hear some insights. Thanks!

Going to try update firmware and see if the problem is resolved.

I find the whole manual focus confirmation a little slow and sluggish with 5dmk3, i dont have flash but id like to hear your technique on manual focus. My way is to focus, hold shutter half way down and gently focus untill you hear the beep. But my results arent too great to be honest

My MF lens do not have focus confirmation. I use live view and zoom in 10x and focus. Just have to practice and watch your composition.

Which lens are you using and which wireless triggers?
