My macro lens is not AF, but I would not consider an AF lens for macro. Once I'm in the ballpark with magnification, then it's a simple matter of moving the camera/lens backwards or forwards until focus is achieved. Minimum aperture and a ringflash, and away I go :-) My macro lens is not very versatile though, and I am still considering an A*200 f/4 to convert to EOS.
