[QUOTE="Mike150, post: 33891, member: 2287"] Best to practice with manual focus in the daytime first. I found that turning the focus ring all the way to to the stop is not really Infinite... It's somewhere beyond. I can only assume this extra movement is to allow the focus motor room for overshoot. It's even harder to set in the dark. I went out one day and found infinite focus and put a small piece of painters tape on lens and focus ring. Then I slit the tape along the edge of the focus ring. Now at night, I can use a flashlight and align the tape and I have the right focus. I use painters tape because it doesn't leave a residue if removed the next day. [/QUOTE]
