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.

I use old film era manual lenses really often.

With autofocus glass, I use manual focus and a single focus button when I'm sure that subject will not move that fast, and it's easier to fix the focus than to autofocus each time. Especially in commercial photography.
