I enjoy relying on Canon Autofocus with Canon Autofocus lenses. That system works really well with it's various "auto" features. I enjoy relying on Manual modes with my Ms and Rs Really just that simple - enjoyment, pleasure, reliability of working methods over time. Can't really "argue" about it - it's personal. I don't doubt that if I had an Xpro-1 I could get to like auto ISO a whole lot. I sure wouldn't "fight" it - if i tried it and liked it.
