[QUOTE="Mike150, post: 184983, member: 2287"] Hi Alex and Welcome. Try this trick. While it's still daylight, focus on a distant object (to get the infinity point). Mark the lens with two pieces of blue painter's tape. One on the barrel and one on the focus ring. Make an alignment mark on both pieces of tape with a fine point sharpie. Later that night, set up your camera and tripod Switch to Manual focus on the lens. Using a flashlight, align your two marks and you're done. I suggested painter's tape because it can be removed easily. I generally remove the tape after each shot. [/QUOTE]
