I know a hard stop is just really nice to have. Now back in the day when I was allowed to go on commercial aircraft runways to shoot. I used to rent Nikons 600mm and it was very obvious between the heat coming off the runway and actually heat of the lens itself the thermals where very obvious. I always kind of questioned more the wide angles. But hey I’m not a optical engineer either
Back on my MF tech cam which basically uses 4x5 type lenses I would take off the rubber and there would be screws that adjust the infinity. I’m sure there is a way to do this but in this case it maybe a internal focusing mechanism that can be down. We really should ask Steve Gandy from cameraquest if this can be done. Having said all that I agree there are a few that infinity is the hard stop. Go figure that one
But for the most part this is normal and if it’s centered and such than go shoot lights out. Thinking back on my CV 15 Choppy it may have been the hard stop
