If the lens if focusing properly AND the focus ring is resting against its
stop, it's possible the center of the "inf" mark does not line up with the
exact center of the line, especially if viewed under a magnifying loupe (not
that anyone here would do that...;-) eeets okay.

Subject: [OM] Zuiko 24mm f2.8
| I've just acquired a Zuiko 24mm f2.8 from a dealer (mail order) at a very
| reasonable price. The condition was described as average so I wasn't
expecting
| perfection. The aperture ring was very lose but found by tightening the
large
| threaded ring at the front of the lens, it is now OK. Shouldn't have been
sold
| in this condition in my view! Also tightened the set screws under the
rubber
| focusing ring.
|
| The glass is very clean and free from marks etc. It appears to be
multicoated.
| Serial number 5xx,xxx,
|
| Only one niggle - the lens focusing ring, when focused at infinity as seen
| through the viewfinder, is very slightly off the infinity mark (about 2mm
at a
| guess). Is this cause for concern?
