A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I use manual focus for macro photography and film photography. On my X-T5, the focus peaking is really good, so it helps a ton for getting focus right w/ my macro lens. Also there are sometimes instances where autofocus struggles, like low light, or if there's a fence in front of my subject (like at the zoo), so I switch to manual focus to force it to focus on what I want rather than what is closer.
On my OM-10, there's just no choice but to manual focus lol. It works well enough.
