I am using a Canon EOS Rebel SL2 with a Canon EF-S18-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM lens. Is there an easy way to set the focus on infinity when I'm using MF mode on the lens? I just want to set it and forget it.

" I just want to set it and forget it." " I occasionally like to take pics of the moon and stars ..."
That is one way to shoot nighttime stars. Set the lens to MF. Use the widest aperture. Focus in the day time on something you can see that is very far away and put a small piece of tape on the focus ring. In the dark use your Liveview option to focus.

Well, 5 years in camera business is not that long. I had this question for a while (and still hope there is a better solution) and found this post but not a solution to the problem. So hoping that people with RF lenses (6 years old) can find it useful. If you knew the solution before somebody passed away - why did not you answer?
