I'll make no excuses for my use of AF 99% of the time. Far sighted,
astigmatism, minor cataracts forming, and a centered floater in each
eye that look like insects buzzing me whenever I move my eyes in their
sockets or move my head rapidly. And much of my photography is of a
midfield swarm of running, playing dogs.
Landscapes, portraits, macro, and astro photography = manual focus.

If you look at my photos on my page on Photo.net all my photos are
shot with manual focus except the photos that say test under them,
that were shot with the 70 - 200 mm Simga lens. Now I understand
when someone's eyes are not as good as they used to be, you will
tend to use auto focus, but they do make contact lens and the like
to improve your eyes. We as photographers and people are getting
lazy and not using our brains.Sorry if I offended anyone on the
list. I will admit there is times when I try the auto focus, but I
go back to manual focus all the time...Joe
