I know, I know, it is 2020, some of you will argue, there’s no way I’m dealing with Manual Focus Lenses in 2020. Next thing you’re gonna tell me to buy a Huawei P40 phone and spend 20 hours every single frakking week hunting for new hacks and loopholes to run Google Play on them 😉
And you would be right if your typical subject matter or your style of photography requires autofocus.

And in some ways, it forces you to pay closer attention to the scene you are photographing…
