When I'm shooting in dark situations I bring a powerful flashlight with me and will illuminate a point that I want to focus on and once focus is obtained I turn off my auto-focus. In the case where I'm taking a landscape photo and am unable to illuminate the scene I use the markings on the lens itself having memorized approximately where the setting goes when I'm shooting long distance landscapes in the daylight. And when guesstimating in the dark I compensate by stopping down the lens a little to account for whatever amount I'm off with my long distance focus.</p></blockquote><p></p>
