5 reasons to use manual focus.

Manual focus still beats autofocus for certain types of photography and is an essential tool for you can use to take better images. Manual focus lenses are cheap and extremely well made too!

As a wildlife photographer I never really think about manual focus unless as you said I have pre focus on a spot wait for the action. But I think you made some good points there and I shall experiment. Thanks for posting.

@@captinktm I haven’t done too much wildlife photography but I can imagine autofocus would definitely be helpful a lot of the time. Thanks for watching!

I do love my cheap AI lenses. Although I re-lubed my 200/4, I still like the 135/2.8 the best probably, even with the focus-throw. That said, the uber cheap 300/4.5 is not a bad lens too, over-shadowed by the better 300/4 ED of course, but it is still great value.

There are a lot of great Ai lenses aren’t there. Regardless of the optical quality the build quality puts most modern lenses to shame!
