And what you want to do. MF tele and macro without tripod are miserable. I've
been having a ball shooting insects and
other moving critters. Way too hard with MF. Yes, I did catch some on film with
MF, but I'm getting more and much better
results with AF. With film, I worried about too many shots with such targets.
Expensive, and I'd have to change film at
a crucial time. I'd never have captured the hummingbird shots I recently posted
with MF.
And how you want to do it. I tend to walk and shoot, often on fairly lengthy
trails. If I did everything with MF, I'd
have to turn back before getting very far, as it would be getting dark. :-)

No argument against what works for you from me.

Oh dear! Was it Digital that killed him?
