I'm not going to argue the "feel" because what feels good to you may not for me. But, how can you say that MF lenses "promote a more considered approach to composition."? In what way? I can use AF lenses in MF mode and treat them exactly like MF lenses. Or I can use the multiple AF sensor of my camera to focus on what I want. Or I can use the AF and recompose option. The tools used cannot "promote a more considered approach to composition." Only the tool user (that would be you, the photographer) can "promote a more considered approach to composition." Your statement is just as bad as the zooms vs. primes or automatic vs manual arguments about learning composition. -- Christian [EMAIL PROTECTED]
