If you would like to set up infinity focus on your Nikon, you have to increase the distance between the lens elements. You need two piece of wire with rubber cover and thats all. I have tried a 3. piece of wire (that was the maximum, what i could took into between the elements) but in that case the infinity appeared at the 4 meter sign. With 2 wire the infinity appears little bit before the infinity sign. The objective was 20 $ and the m42 adapter 5 $. IMPORTANT: The lens can collide with the camera mirror in case of using more than 2x appx. 2 mm thick rings. In the video I used 2x appx. 1,75-1,8 mm rings. (As I know all Nikons have the same mirror depth, but always pay attention. )
