Most of us old-timers would use zone focus in those kinds of cases. We would
know what area the subject would be in focus in with the camera setup that way
and only shoot when the subject was in the focus zone. Mindlessly simple when
you know how, and you will I wager get far more in focus shots than with most
AF cameras. It even works with the 4x5 graphic for goodness sake.

Hi Graywolf and Shel
most of the PAW/PESOS I saw from Shel so far where unmoved objects where
manual focusing is easy.
But, taking photographs of a soccer game or for example a young dog moving
into your direction manually
is really hard, at least for me and my eyes.
That are some of the occasions where I would use auto focus. Otherwise I
always shoot manually but like
the in focus indicator on AF bodies a lot.

Shel, I assume you know the technique of focusing an SLR without
fiddling; if so you can focus manually faster than almost all
auto-focus cameras in most situations especially difficult ones.
So you are correct an auto-focus camera provides you with almost
nothing worthwhile.
