Hi all! I'm thinking about purchasing my first medium format camera. I'm interested in any of the 645's just not sure if I want AF or manual. I currently own a AE1 and a D300, however the D300 is going to be sold so I can further my adventure into film. I like to shoot landscapes, nature, interiors and some architecture, and family lifestyle.
I feel like my main weakness in my AE1 is I can't focus fast enough to get shots of faster moving objects like children and sometimes people. Do manual focus users just get better with time or due to is the subject matter I'm interested in would I be better off with AF?
I have a $800-1000 budget so I think I could find an AF body in my price range but manual focus would allow me to purchase additional items to add to my set up (light meter, film, lenses...).
Just curious is there a manual body that would work with an AF lens?
Thanks for all your help!
