Yeah, it's funny because I love the feedback it gives you when it thinks something is in focus, but even still, I often find (usually with textured objects) that the AF is a smidgin off from where I want it. I haven't been wrong yet, at least with the AF lenses. I've even done ok shooting handheld MF at 300mm (with a smallish zoom).
