The first (and only) camera that I've owned with auto focus is my
E-10. All the others (several OM's and a Bronica ETRS) have manual
focus and I prefer plain screens so much that I've fitted them in the
OM's and Bronica.
To my surprise, I've found the auto focus far more accurate and
dependable than I imagined and has largely overcome my prejudice.
Gosh, I might go for an automatic car next ;-)
