My 35mm and 50mm lenses have the old style infinity locks. I find them quite
handy for scale focusing. With practice, one can use the index finger to
push and pull the focusing ring to focus to the proper distance without even
looking at the scale or looking through the viewfinder.

Both my 28 and 50 have thumb indents which serve the same purpose for me,
without a mechanical lock. I like the indents, just don't know why a lock was
useful.

Best,
Godfrey
