It has? Really?
Well, if you ever need to take pictures of a soccer game through the net...call me. Don't expect your autofocus to do it.
Heh, I say it again for you.
When did they remove auto-focus capability again? Seriously, try again.
Who needs it?
Nice photo (save for the blown highlights taken in direct sun).
Please, enough with the "I'm better than you because I use a manual camera!" bit. We get it. You've pounded it into our brains, at least 100 times, literally. Why are you so scared of AF? Scared it will make you less of a photographer? Oh, there I go again, you aren't a photographer...I need to quit making that mistake. I'd say you're a Luddite, but you are online, so that can't be it. I guess technological advances past 1965 in the photographic world are bad.
As for me, I will admit that it sure is nice, and helps a lot to have a mechanical assist in focusing. I could do it myself, but what's the point when the machine can do it basically as well as a human being, except in a few rare circumstances (like you pointed out)?
I should have learned from the first time. I'm going to just stop replying to you. You're an old crotchety man, set in his ways, and the new fangled whosits and whatsits are just too darned complicated for you! I guess they really can't teach an old dog (or a not-a-photographer) new tricks.
