My first lens was a chrome summarit.  On the focusing ring there was a 
little know used for locking it at infinity.  In the small amount of time 
that I used the summarit I was able to know where I was focused easily 
befor I put the camera to my eye just by feeling the nob.  Now that I have 
a new summicron I have to go all the way to infinty or .7 meters and work 
my way back to guess what I am focusing at.  Now for the question.  Has 
anyone put a marker of sorts on the focusing ring to make focusing 
faster?  What do you use? how do you attach it?  I was thinking that I 
could put a drop of solder on the ring but I have no idea if it would 
stick.  Tape is too temporary.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
