"One third of the way to infinity" - sounds like a SF story title.

When the furthest distance is infinity, the 1/3 rule not really 
appropriate. Instead, focus on the hyperfocal distance, which is what Mitch 
started off saying he was unhappy about.

I tend to use the scale, one or two stops wider than indicated.
