Set your desired aperture. Look at the lens's back scale which features two sets of aperture numbers radiating from center of focus. Turn the focus until the infinity symbol is over the aperture you set. The distance that appears over the same aperture on the other side is the nearest in focus. Anything within those bounds is focused - sort of. Have a great vacation.
