[QUOTE="blackstar, post: 726205, member: 47518"] Thanks, Bob. The kit lens (18-55mm) came with your D3200 is nice to have focus and VR switch on it. And the way you (suggest to) use to lock focus sounds straight and simple. Unfortunately, no either switch can be found on my two kit lenses with D3500. However, after reading your reply, I tried re-thinking this over and thought isn't it the simplest way to lock focus: Just use MF to focus an object at hyperfocal distance leaving focus ring and zoom ring untouched and turn to the night sky to shoot stars (at infinity). But this can work only if nothing (including camera itself, focus ring itself, moving camera position, etc.) would change or move focal point after HF distance is focused. Can anyone verify and confirm this? Thanks [/QUOTE]
