Yes, Scotty, I have the 8-16mm lens experience you wrote. When shooting, I adjust the lens manually. On very close objects just before infinity, otherwise just behind the infinity sign. Just focus a little next to it and the image is out of focus. Therefore, I always take 2-3 photos with a small shift around the infinity mark.
