I only have manual lenses and would like to keep it that way. Naturally I shoot only manual focus. On my D40 which had auto focus I only shot manual also. I enjoy the process of focusing. Auto focus can definitly be useful when shooting fast moving objects and sports but I still prefer to use manuall focus even for those.

Manual Focus. Takumar's (well the real ones) don't come in AF.

I basically only use AF when traveling with the kit lens.

Do you guys fire more often in autofocus or manual focus?
