Not criticizing, just curious: what is the attraction of MF lenses when there are so many excellent AF options available at reasonable prices?
I do understand the appeal for unique and legacy lenses, just not for run of the mill optics.
I personally like the feeling of well made things , the reason I won’t put a case on my phone. The AF lenses mostly feel like mass produced plastics , I like the tactile feel of the older lenses , as well as the ‘not perfect’ image quality. I also enjoy the challenge of capturing something the hard way, and not relying on computers to do it all (builds thousands of servers for a living). I currently own about 25 lenses , all are manual focus , but I will probably pickup one or two AF lenses eventually for convenience. I just enjoy the experience more when I am in control , and prefer the cameras, and lenses with manual inputs. I do like the MF tools in the ZF , but I still have to nail the shot.
