If it is lens focus, you should be able to set infinity at home. When
mirror angle is out, infinity will not come in (minus) or will focus beyond
infinity. AND, ALL pictures you take (even though sharp in the finder) will
be out of focus in some way, or atleast your main focal point will be
shifted.
