This is great info and I will be using the macro ring for manual focus for types of shots where I need the camera to remember the previous distance.
It\'s worth mentioning that the \'fine tuning\' you referred on your first post does not get saved when turning off the camera. Basically the camera defaults to \'infinity\' but the macro ring is set to the correct distance with infinity as reference.
Yes, you are correct that this is how focusing works for a non-broken RX1, but I was referring to my (then) broken RX1, which worked as I described. Now that it\'s repaired itself, however, it works as you\'ve described above. <shrugs>
One other tip: I wrapped a pair of heavy-duty zip ties around the macro ring to serve as a poor-man\'s lens tab, because focusing precisely at distances close to infinity requires a delicate hand, especially when I have the Bronica bellows hood attached, and using a finger on each side of the lens helps. In my case, the zip ties will also easily slip on-and-off as needed:
