> The [lens](http://www.cexx.org/dakota/lens.jpg) of the Dakota/Walgreens cameras is adjusted at the factory, then secured in place with a blob of clear glue. A metal spring between the lens and what it screws into also helps hold it in adjustment. It is probably adjusted for ‘infinity’ or near enough to it, but if you cut/dig/chip away the glue, you can rotate the lens to adjust the camera’s focal length. Turn clockwise to focus far, and counterclockwise to focus near–up to within an inch or so of the lens!
