the thing about manual focusing is ... i miss a lot of shots not in focus,, this one i sharpened, but i hate doing that.
is auto focus any better, really though. i get frustrated with auto focus more than with manual

i doubt i will ever 'get' all the tech .... i wonder when something else will supersede these sensors. a whole new way of recording light ?
Autofocus depends on so many variables. I find my fuji cams much better than the Pentax cams I had...but they are all newer generations. I haven't tried the XT1 recently, though on all my cams i tend to use single spot focus and move it around to what i want only occasionally do I use the other options
the XF23 f2 and XF50 f2 both are snappy solid focus lenses on any of the bodies i have tried them out on . Manual focus is more hit and miss for me since my eyesight is no longer what it was
a focus stack shot lets you select focus, Lytro cameras were the pioneers in that idea and I am sure it is coming to cell phones based on what my current cell can already do.
And the tech really matters less than having the vision for what you want and getting out and shooting it. a friend has an MFA in photography and she is the least tech oriented person i know but has a distinct vision for what she wants (currently she is back at schoold doing a writing-based masters degree too compliment the visual arts one)
