I mean it imposes that manual focus in these conditions brings the advantage over autofocus...
I wonder if some members of this forum could second that.

There are situations where autofocus fails more often. In such a case, manual focussing
might produce more consistent results. But who said, that with an AF lens, you cannot
switch off the AF and use manual focus?
Pure MF lenses do have some sort of nostalgic aura around them, and in fact I just try to
complete a small set of MF-only lenses for myself. But this is (at least for me) not for the quality
of the results. It is just that it brings back some of the habits of how taking photographs was
done 30 years ago ... which I still enjoy. There are extremly good MF lenses,. but for the price they
cost, you also get extremly good AF lenses.
