Manual Focus

Do you use manual focus? I almost always rely on autofocus but my Nikon doesn't communicate electronically with my old vintage 50mm prime lens so I held my breath and hoped for the best.
How did I do?

Nice

I'd say you did quite well! Every now and then I hold my breath and try the manual focus - still not totally comfortable with the results.

[Harry J Benson]

Very good for the DoF on this f–stop

[Shutterbug]

I think really well. Love the softness in the background.

[Teriyaki]

you did a good job for f1.0....crazy shallow DOF..... From my experience, the older nikon primes tend to be kind of weak wide open, and I have found a few that end up out of tolerance on my newer camera leading to nothing but frustration (though they worked good on my old camera!)

[Diana]

Very well under the circumstances, neat focus.

[Babs]

Well done.

[Van]

Such beautiful sharp focus for a very narrow dof. Fabulous job!!!

[eDorre]

Looks good! Love the green growth!

[Kat]

Well done!

[Chris Cook]

Looks like you nailed it

Very nice shot

[Susan Wakely]

Love it. I am still such a novice but use manual now and again with surprising results.

[Bill]

I'd say you got it really good.

[Mags]

Very nice! Lovely closeup.

[KV]

Looking good on focus & nice DOF too. I love the focus peaking on my mirrorless camera when in manual... it really helps a lot.

nice details and dof

[Granny7(Denise)]

Nice Dof

[Islandgirl]

Very nice focus!

The focus is great! I use manual focus on close ups or when the lens won't focus accurately on my small subject (but wants to focus on the background).
