Re: Doesn't X-E2 have back button AF in Manual mode? Re: X-E2 + 23mm f2

Yes, the X-E2 has back button focus with its AF-L button as well, regardless if in AF-M or AF-S mode. TangoMan do reference back button focus as well.

But the shooting technique TangoMan describes - if I understand them correctly - is what some call "pre-focusing", although one could also say it's a variant of zone focusing.

Rather than achieving focus at the time of capture, the idea is to determine a focus distance first,

Yes, I understand and I agree - what I am saying is that with back button AF-L it is easier to acquire the initial focus.

Doesn't surprise me that some like to say street photography is more like fishing rather than hunting.

Nice analogy
