From my experience, I can tell you that using MF is a joy when it comes to my Zeiss 50mm. The MF ring is silky smooth and can rotate until you get bored with it. And the best part is you can choose where to focus by yourself without a need of one of the 51 or 18 AF sensor points in the viewfinder. This is really something, because even if you have 51 focus points they do not cover the edges and you need to focus & reframe (or AE/AF lock). But I'm not sure if the same is valid for wide angle landscape usage... I use it for street photography and close portrait shots.



Edit: All statements made above was excluding the need of a decent focusing screen. Because in some body/lens combinations the signal of focus indicators can lead false results and all you can depend on becomes a decent focusing screen.



Regards,



Serkan
