Re: X100f Manual Focus

I agree with everything you said. But sadly, I think zone focusing is almost a lost art. I got my first camera 60 years ago and spent over 55 years shoot film before I even got my first digital camera, so MF is natural for me.  But now, there are a couple of generations of photographers who grew up with auto-focus. Same thing with lenses; the kit lens was a 50mm and now it's a 24-70mm zoom or equivalent  with APS-C or M43.

I love the small size and portability on my X100T but I also love my X-E2 with my 23mm f1.4 and 14mm f2.8 plus three adapted Minolta MD lenses I can also use. for the first half of last year, all I used was three Rokinon and one Bower lens on my X-E2 and I never missed the AF.
