Same here Paul. Vice versa, I've found using MF lens on AF body "cognitive dissonance" (LOL, may I borrow this phrase ;-). For example, I was using my SMC Pentax-M 100mm f/2.8 and my Pentax-F 24-50mm f/4 zoom combo for while. After a while, I gave up on using the 100mm because I found it much slower to get focus right than on my old split-image/microprism screen of my ancient MX! Call it the "idiot-light" focusing if you will :-(. Also, those old MF lenses (M or A) annoyingly fail to show the aperture settings in the viewfinder (in aperture priority AE and manual) on the AF bodies :-(, something I've gotten totally spoiled since the MX ;-).
