Hi Alex,
In that case, why not settle for fixed-focus lenses?
This really defeats the object of a lens with any focusing mechanism at all.

Honestly, I would gladly buy such a lends 'hardcoded' on infinity... e.g 21mm Zeiss. But doubt if that is on offer (by any manufacturer, not only Zeiss) <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

By the way, this is somehow related to the topic - Zeiss sells MF lenses for industry. They have very vague explanation in their web site about how e.g. ZF is different from ZF-I, but something about screws to fixate aperture/focus is mentioned:

Anyone has more info/experience on that?
