Re: AF vs. MF [was: Re: Bessaflex in M42 mount]

Macro work, in general, doesn't lend itself to AF. First off, it's 
usually done with the camera mounted on a tripod, and if what you want 
to focus on isn't covered by an AF sensor LOL. MF just makes more sense 
for this.

The viewfinder was so dim that I doubt that any AF system would have 
ever worked. And even if it worked, I doubt it would have helped. On 
the contrary. Having to move the whole shebang to get the pollen grain 
on the AF sensor, then moving the whole shebang back to get proper 
framing would had been a real pain.
