I end up at this point really seeing my grain pattern how it's holding together from corner to corner and getting a much more excruciating feel for what my optics and films are up too. I do have a "friend" who loves AF as he is too vain to wear glasses. I'm not at all sure how common this is all I know from doing portrait work is that men are more vain by far then women. He'll have a stack of prints he has made up and on one he'll miss his focus. His subject is way out of focus but the background is tact sharp. And i have to bring this to his attention (with my naked eye) as he is too blind to see his own prints! And then at the Salgado show there is was again. A very embarrassing and dumb deal. A guy who can not see the prints and who thinks he is into photography.
