On my old Canon F1 SLR I had a 70-200mm non automatic zoom lens. It was standard practice to focus the lens fully zoomed out (200mm), then pull back to frame the shot (say 100mm). I now have two Nikkor kit lenses (18-105 and 70-300) on a D-90 body. When setting up a shot I find myself manually focusing these lenses the same way out of old habit even when using auto focus. Do the same techniques apply with the new auto focus lenses? Focusing this way seems to come in handy especially when using spot metering. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks, Tom Beard
