[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 483900, member: 13090"] The only solution to setting infinity focus on a DSLR lens that does not have the infinity stop that I am aware of is to allow the camera to auto-focus on something that is way off in the distance. Once you have an AF confirmation at infinity you lock that setting by putting the lens in Manual Focus mode and/or taping down the lens barrel. For taping the lens, I use that "easy-to-remove" blue painters tape; it prevents the lens from shifting and serves as a visual reminder that I've set and locked the lens for infinity focus. If you're shooting at night the best thing to do is pre-set your lens to infinity focus using the steps above during the day. If you're shooting at night and forgot to pre-set your lens to infinity focus, use a bright star, planet or the moon to get an AF-confirmation. Once you have that confirmation, put the lens in Manual Focus mode and/or tape it down using your blue painters tape. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
