for what you are doing, stick with zone focusing. too much changing for most
AF systems to lock onto in low light.

Subject: Need advice on picking a 50mm AF lens
Here are a couple of samples of the sort of thing I'm trying to take
pictures of.

These are both at ISO1600, 1/60, wide open with a Kiron 24 f/2. Probably
underexposed one to two stops. That's fairly typical. My main concern
isn't the light, but being able to focus with a somewhat longer lens while
shooting from the hip or off a painter's extension pole!
