This is particularly useful with the quick turn-around times between matches!

One other suggestion to do in addition to the witness mark it to put a small spot of silicon glue or hot glue at a point bridging the edge of the focus ring and the camera housing. This will prevent accidental movement of the ring. It also allows changing the focus later if desired. DO NOT USE SUPER GLUE or EPOXY!!
