This is fixed focus. 

You can focus clear about 6 ft as far as I know 

The longer Flange distance lens to the shorter Flange distance camera, then could use the infinity focus.
but if the shorter Flange distance lens to longer Flange distance camera, then could not use the infinity focus, you can focus on a limited distance.
the position of the infinity mark 【∞】of the telephoto lens or super telephoto lens is shifted slightly to the positive side to enable focus adjustment even when focus shift is caused due to temperature changes.The shift range is denoted by an L-shaped line, Be sure to check the focus through the viewfinder even when you shoot at infinity. 

yes, i had no problems with infinity focus with this adapter. the only FD mount lens i use anymore with my sony is a vivitar 20mm, and i pretty much only shoot infinity focus with it. 

Unlike a tube it won't effect your focus distance nor effect your quality like a doubler. The lens will have more of an effect than anything else. On my Sony a7, I must be sure to use a full frame lens since the sensor is 35mm size
