[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 101844, member: 9521"] What an awesome gift from your friend, you're a lucky guy to have such a good friend. The problem with using an AF lens in manual mode is that the turn ratio is too tight for easy fine tuning. With the fully manual lenses you have a much wider fine tuning making it a lot easier to zone in on the perfect focus. That's not to say you can't do a good job manually focusing an AF lens, some people swear by them. But for me and my not-so-perfect eyes, I just don't trust them nearly as much as I trust my camera's AF. [/QUOTE]
