Hi!
I have crappy eyes too. Good contrast when wide open is a big help.
I've not had a K24/2.8 to try. The A24/2.8 is fairly easy to focus for
me, but the FA20-35/4 is actually easier: it's got more contrast wide
open than the A24. The FA35/2 is the easiest ... it's wide-open contrast
is the best of all the lenses in this focal length range that I've tried
(including the FA31, for that matter).
Technique is what matters. Learn to manual focus by watching the in and
out of focus transitions as you turn the focusing ring, rather than
trying to judge a static image with small, slow movements of the
focusing ring. With a bit of practice, you can hit the best focus point
easily even with a Coke bottle bottom... ;-)
Godfrey, I can do that, but like I explained to Shel, I cannot do that
many times in a row... I'd rather be controlling outcome of AF than
doing it myself.
And I have to have some focal length between 18 and 43, don't I? ;-)
