I have the two ring (current, non AF-S model) and it will not focus to infinity (the scale says infinity, but subjects 100 ft and beyond are not in focus). At the suggestion of a Nikonian, I focussed on an object at a measured 20 ft and the scale indicated 30+ ft. - he says it is a focus ring alignment problem and to remove the rubber ring from the focus ring. There should be screws to be loosened to re-adjust the focus scale. I need help locating and recognizing these adjustment screws. All I can see are two TINY screws that are so small I can't tell if they are phillips head or what. Anyone with experience at this, please give me some help.

Many thanks,

Frank Dodson
