EX1: chosen focal length indicator?

I'm trying to wrap my head around compact style street shooting, and one of the things I would like to do is to be able to use manual focus with set hyperfocal focal length. But I can't figure out if there's a way to get a reading of the current focal length distance as dialed in with the manual zoom ring window. Oh, I can kinda do a fair approximation, but I would love to get a real distance so I can optimize my DOF for any given aperture. Is this possible somehow or do I need to get better at judging distances by eye?
