In the case of the Samyang 2.8/100 you set the focus using a big and comfortable ring, with the help of a depth of field scale positioned on the barrel. To be completely honest that scale is good for nothing as it contains marks only at f/22 and they are positioned very close together.

As we’ve already mentioned in the chapter concerning the build and quality of the lens the ring is hardly flawless as well. Its working range is a bit too narrow and setting the focus from 1 meter to infinity is very difficult; what’s more there is no distinct reserve after the infinity mark. All of those flaws ill befit a manual instrument of good quality.
