I thought that's probably what you meant.
How easy a lens is to focus, for me, is completely dependent upon how
good its sharpness/contrast wide open is. Yes, the manual focus
lenses have nice focus rings with great feel ... I can get used to
almost anything in that area. But if the lens is soft wide open, or
lacking in contrast, I can't see the focus point clearly so it makes
getting a good focus difficult.
(BTW, this is one of the reasons why I generally prefer primes to
zooms. Zooms are rarely at their best wide open, more primes do well
wide open...)

Apparently, I worded things badly.
What I meant to poll is:
Do you find it easier to focus a manual focus lens or to manually
focus an autofocus lens.
Thanks to Marnie for catching that one.
