[QUOTE="Scott Murray, post: 577175, member: 9753"] There are a few ways to get accurate infinity focus, but the best is live view on a star or far away stationary object lets say light pole. On prime lenses the infinity focus is normally easy to get but zooms are a bit harder and are not always right at the end of the focus dial rotation. My 14mm is not that easy and focusing on a bright star is my best way of getting accurate focus. Once this infinity focus is obtained place it in manual focus (if not already) and then if you like you can use some gaffa tape in the focusing ring to stop it from moving if bumped in the dark.
