Don't most AF lenses allow MF? Mine do.
I have an ongoing argument with myself about this. My modern,
sophisticated will do everything my old cameras will do plus AND offer
a number of other capabilities that I may or may not use.
Thus, when I 'go back' to say, my OM4T, I realize that other than its
wonderful spot metering options, I can do everything it can do with my
C@non digicam. So I wonder why I even bother? Sure the VF of the OM
is superior, but the one on the digicam is certainly usable if not
wonderful.
But the OM works with my favored Tamron SP lenses, so . . .
