You can manually focus any Nikon lens.

Just set the lever on the body to "M" or do it in the menus if you don't have a physical control.

Just set it to infinity, everything from about 3 feet will be infocus anyway.

you should be able to manually focus any lens on any DSLR? Switch the lens using the A/M lever on the lens, then just twist the focus ring around to infinity as said above:

the 10.5 has an aperture scale - set infinity against the aperture you will be using to get the max DoF.

I answered your question in post #2!

There are no other questions left on this subject :)

The switch referred to is on the body of your camera. Facing your camera, with lens pointing towards you, it will be on your right-hand-side right where the lens contacts with the camera body. There, a lever will allow you to switch the lens's focusing to manual.
