disadvantages of using manual or autofocus for street photography which is a fantastic question. I have debated about this with myself when it
The main characteristic of rangefinder cameras like the Leica M's is that they are manual focus. It might sound awkward as autofocus is nowadays a basic feature of even the cheapest compact cameras, yet manual focus does bring some clear advantage in my opinion. First and above all, manual focus means that you are in
13 Mar 2016 I have been shooting for about six years, and I started doing more street photography within the last two. I shoot street usually with either a Fuji X-E2 with the Metabones “Speedbooster" or An A7II, both with a host of adapted manual focus glass (17mm, 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 58mm, 135mm). In fact, I
