[QUOTE="jwstl, post: 147747, member: 12977"] Being comfortable with it and wanting to use it at all times are two different things. I own some manual focus lenses and use them on occasion for the right subjects but I wouldn't want all manual all the time. Also, if I'm buying an AF lens I'd want one that would actually AF on my camera or I might as well look into a manual lens which could be better and/or cheaper. If you are buying a lens without a motor with the thought of upgrading bodies some day, I suppose that's not a terrible idea. You could save money but you may not be getting the latest technology (faster AF, VR etc.) for that newer body. [/QUOTE]
