I sometimes use AF with my FA100/2.8 macro. The bee shot I posted a
week ago is one example where it worked well. However, AF is even
more useful with manual focus lenses when it comes to macro. Because
of the snap-in focus feature, you can sneak up on your "prey" with
the shutterbutton depressed and get a well focused shot on first
approach.
So you just adjust the focus according to the desired magnification,
then move the camera towards the subject and press the button when the
in-focus indicator pops up?
I'll have to correct myself on that one. Obviously, I won't even have to
make a conscious decision about when to "shoot", as the body won't
actually release the shutter until the subject is in focus. Apparently,
it's been a while since I used a manual lens on an AF body... Must be
because that soft focus lens is so much fun...
