Trying to back off the infinity stop has not shown any focus improvement for distant objects. Because of the nature of wide angle lenses the view finder image (even at high magnification of the Sony manual focus assist) is not easily focused manually. I have used an additional 2X magnifier today to better the infinity stop setting but I think it is exactly set for infinity objects.\u00a0 Which is a great situation to have especially for older eyes.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll follow up this review with more information in the days ahead.<\/p>\n<p>[paypal-donation]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I&#8217;ve cropped out the four corners of some images I took at infinity focus.
