Ummm, I find AF, and especially the AF "kinda-in-focus"
indicator, not as accurate as MF...
You may want to check out my short article on four-way glasses
on my web page, under "I babble" - it was a solution that sure
helped me with both seeing with continuous good focus, and with
using a camera with MF lenses...
BTW, some VF optics are created sharper than others, and it is
worth selecting a camera that has sharp VF optics (I find some
of the newer AF bodies are not among these, alas...).
