p.1 #1 · Who needs AF? Zeiss 35mm 1.4 on D4 just rocks!

Ok, just kidding on the AF stuff. As I get older I find I could use AF in about 60% of my pictures. But I still find it hard to get rid of the manual focus glass especially when it performs so well.

Thought you were moving away from the manual lenses? They only function as well your eyesight.

I know what yu mean. I am buying a Nikon 85mm 1.4 AF next. I just could never part with the Zeiss 35 1.4

I took 17 pictures today with the D4 and the Zeiss. 7 where out of focus.

Your eye site is not as much to blame as that wretched stock focusing screen.
