If you can get infinity focus as marked on the lens then the adaptor thickness is right.
Mentioning that at the start might have been an idea, or is this some kind of test?
What Dave said. I don't think you have a front focussing issue at all - due to the extension caused by the adaptor you just can't focus beyond a certain point - looks to be somewhere between 5 & 10m. Grimer and Ross were beyond that limit, whereas your video stuff wasn't.
That looks to be pretty much in focus, though you've got a bit of movement blur softening things. But then he's not very far away.
No, not much, which is why the flowers in fornt of him are sharp. What's your point?
Are you saying that due to infinity focus not being achievable there is a limit (distance) at which I just can't get anything in focus and below that I'm fine?
