You seem to suggest that differential focus is the only aspect of " truly
creative photography". This is patently not so. Surely autofocus has its
place in creating images of moving objects such as birds or other animals
and in sports or candid photography? And, after all, one could always turn
off the autofocus for those " truly creative" images.
