Yesterday I used my helios 58f2 for portraiture for its swirly bokeh, I used it on Sony A6000 and on Canon 5D classic to capture portraits for my wife and daughter.
On A6000, I got 70% of shots is sharp focus, (when focus is on the farther not closer eye, I consider it misfocused) note the the model wasn't standing still, she wasn't walking or running nonetheless.
Using autofocus I have almost the same rate of sharp focus especially when using 7Dmkii along with 85mm f1.8 , 55-210 on A6000 has a large DOF so can't compare it.
What would you prefer to use for portaiture AF or MF, just to discuss habits, I am not expecting a clear cut answer
