EF-M 18-150 and manually focus on infinity
1

Hi all,

Last week I tried to focus on some jet fighters doing a couple of fly by's. AF wasn't able to focus on them them as I couldn't catch the jets in the frame because I only saw OOF blur, which made it impossible for AF to focus.

So I tried to switch to MF, give the focus by wire ring a swirl to infinity and take the shot. I was unpleasantly surprised that by giving it a swirl, the lens actually focuses beyond infinity. After taking some test shots I found out that I have to give it a swirl and turn it back slightly. But not too much or it won't be infinity. And there's a very fine line between closer than infinity, infinity and beyond infinity

Long story short, I missed the shot... Is this normal behavior for the focus by wire EF-M lenses?
