I meant, it's possible that the lens at its infinity mark pictures objects
sharp which are in the infinity. And if the viewfinder shows such infinity
objects unsharp, there is possible a discrepancy between both distances. To
determine this, the user should make test pictures from infinity objects
with the lens set to the infinity mark.
