QUOTE(shinchan^^ @ Feb 15 2007, 08:00 AM) Depends... I find that I often had to manual focus in dim lighting with my lenses because the AF wastes a lot of time hunting in and out trying to find the correct focal point. But your eyes have to be sharp because long telephoto + large aperture = shallow depth-of-field which makes focusing errors look really bad.In bright lighting, most lenses' AF locks on in under a second, and it's much better to use continuous servo AF when taking action photos. |

But your eyes have to be sharp because long telephoto + large aperture = shallow depth-of-field which makes focusing errors look really bad. So in other words, if you're a beginner and your eyes are not sharp then manual focusing is rendered a useless function even for a telephoto zoom, let alone a supertele? In bright lighting, most lenses' AF locks on in under a second, and it's much better to use continuous servo AF when taking action photos. From what I gather, D40 owners ask 20 questions about how shallow is a certain aperture and how far is a certain focal length. Would they spend thousands to get lenses they know very well they can do nothing but manual focus? I dun think so lor |
