It prevents the lens from going all the way to minimum focus and then back to infinity again when it cannot find a focus. If you know your subject is far then you can limit the focusing so that the response can be faster.

I can't remember if it works for near subjects for this lens also. If the switch is set to limit at minimum focus, then the lens will not look for focus from infinity. You can try it out.

Yes.It will not focus on near subjects as limiter will prevent on focusing on nearer subjects which may be focused on when it is set to full.
