I like the precision of wide-open focusing, and for macro, when you *really* close down the lens, it becomes very difficult/impossible for the LCD gain to compensate the loss of light and the image becomes grainy, and eventually it just disappears... If you don't give me auto-diaphragm, I might as well be shooting with a reversed lens - a common but difficult macro technique, precisely because of the lack of auto-diaphragm.
