The rated f stop at 400mm with this thing is f8 probably closer to t11 for light transmission.

Perhaps it's AF. I still am leary of just how big an area the sensors really cover. I see more minor misses with people using AF than you would believe. Many times, DOF helps cover it up because of slow lenses, but when examined closely, the focus is off just a bit.
I agree. I mostly use AF with my zoom lenses, which are relatively slow and cover the focus error well. When I want critical focus, I go to manual focus. Thankfully, critical focus isn't always necessary to enhance a photograph's appeal.
I'm still a die-hard manual focus guy. AF is helpful in some
situations, but that is definitely the exception, not the rule for me. ...

I'm in love with the Magnifier FB now. It makes critical focus with the DA14 and A24 so easy!
