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 feel like autofocus is so good. Are there times that you use manual focus? When I am looking through the view finder it almost seems impossible to actually manual focus a shot anyway.

Am I doing something wrong here? Just checking. Thank you.

Lenses made for manual focus are a world easier to use in manual than autofocus lenses. To answer your question, I do about 99% of my shooting in manual because many of my favorite lenses are manual focus only. You get used to it pretty quick, and the focus aids like focus peaking and focus assist are quite good these days.
