I reluctantly agree after using my OG 1Ds for a decade as my studio cam, often with manual-focus lenses and often for portraits. Critical eye focus even @ f/5.6 with posed subject requires constant vigilance that is mentally taxing after awhile. I recently acquired a MILC body that has functioning Eye AF and, after a brief headshot session, determined it works like magic. Works so well that it feels like cheating. Why did I suffer all those years?



Canon TS-E 135/4L, wide open, handheld, manual focus of course.
