I think my best photos come from my manual gear (LX and MX). Although there are some situations where i do need the autofocus of my 5n, if i'm shooting fast moving subjects. I think when using the manual gear i am in a whole different mind set. I take my time and think about the shot more, i also think in advance more. I definately feel more productive when using my LX and MX. I only ever use primes on my manual focus bodies, I really cant stand manual focus zooms.
