Manual focus might be OK in a fairly relaxed environment ie no rush
and a single model but watching pros at work in studio where there are
multiple models and clothing changes I would say AF is pretty much
mandatory. If AF is reliable (and the top end Canon and Nikon DSLRs
appear to be) it just takes away another unknown and reduces the
overall shot to shot time per pose.
