I do not want to bash the AF. But as amateur photographer, who cannot earn money with his pictures, i do not want to spend a lot of money in electronic technology which changes every some years. I prefer a simple technology, with limited number of functions, which i can practise and understand in my limited free time. Of course, i am loosing pictures sometimes. But according to my experience, i will loose even more if i would entrust too much in automation. If i want to do a shot of a moving object, i try to preset all adjustments before and wait until the object appears in focus. My favourite (moving) subjects are people and all sorts of vehicules, and here, this method nearly always works. Only children are sometimes difficult, they can behave incalculably. Best regards Uwe.
