However, for your convenience, the focus ring has detents at 3 meters (at which point the lens is in focus from 1.5 meters to infinity at f/8), 1.5 meters (0.8 meters to infinity at f/16) and 1 meter (0.6 meters to 3 meters at f/16.) Even focused at infinity, the lens is in focus from 3 meters to infinity at f/8, and from 6 meters to infinity at f/4 (wide open.) The lens has a small tab on the focusing ring that lets you set focus with one finger. Coupled with the detents, it allows reasonably quick and accurate focusing even without looking at the scales. My results from this lens have been lovely.
