You cannot set at infinity because the infinity marking is evidentially just a relic of the past, at least on the 24-120. And even if you do find infinity at one focal length, if you change focal lengths, it is no longer at infinity, even though the focus scale did not change. I guess infinity is relative. To what I don't know. I have three G series lenses. The 70-300 seems to retain its focus when zoomed as best I can tell in the house right now. The 10-24 shows a slight focus shift when zoomed, but that may just be my technique testing it in the house right now. The 24-120 does not even come close to retaining focus when zoomed.
