It has an infinity mark.
However like all motorised lenses, the lens can twist past this point (i.e. lens doesn't stop turning like it would with a manual lens).


Would switching it to MF (Manual Focus) not overcome that?

That's some price for an IS lens & Photozone tests show it to be very good optically!

Tempted myself but just got a non-IS lens for the same price in the same range.

This is a great value lens. You also need to turn off the IS when using it mounted. It has manual override of AF too, but should be used in MF for astro-photos with a review of trial shots taken.
