Originally posted by SOldBear It is normal for any lens to have the focus ring a bit past infinity. It is part of the tolerance.
When the focus ring is turned all the way toward infinity, the marker is lined up perfectly with the infinity symbol.
At this point, when looking through the viewfinder, the lens is focused past infinity by a decent chunk. To get true infinity focus, I have to turn the focusing ring back toward the MFD by a bit.
This seems like some kind of alignment flaw to me. None of my other lenses behave this way.
But as I said, the fact that the MFD seems correct is baffling. But maybe I'm just measuring the MFD incorrectly?
