[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 144073, member: 9521"] Using an auto-focus lens manually is not ideal compared to using a manual lens manually. And by that I mean an auto-focus lens is much tighter in the focus ring and small movements can greatly affect your focus. Whereas a manual focus lens has much wider turning ratio and you can move the focus ring further to dial in a perfect focus. That's not to say you can't focus an auto-focus lens manually, rather the manual lens will allow you a much finer focus with less chance of over and under compared to an auto-focus lens....if that makes any sense.
