I don't think so, no, the aperture is conventional, although, since the 
whole 
kaboodle rotates with focus like the old lenses, the aperture index will not 
necessarily be found where one may expect it.
I did not notice anything about not focussing to infinity though.

But if you want to change the aperture, you have to dismount the lens and
change a part, furthermore, it has no infinity?  Cute, but no cigar.
