Henry, I have had similar experience and nowadays the only thing I do use autofocus for is my children. Everything else, including a minimal amount of motorsport photography I find manual focus satisfactory and use my Leica. As far as exposure is concerned I find that the M meter plus experience results in more well exposed shots than any auto system I have used, though the modern matrix systems are much better than the older ttl systems , and none, of course, near as good as using an incident meter;-) GDR cheers Frank
