nice captures ... how are you liking the new lens? miss auto focus?

Manual focus forces you to compose, think, slow down. You do miss some shots, but, you also don't deal with shutter shock impacting IS, or AF miss, either, which those never happen on the M6 Mark II

Quality vs quantity...

It's actually refreshing. Requires some practice, which I have plenty from former Rokinon use...

I find this as well. I often put my old FD 50mm f/1.8 on my M50. Not only does the manual focus slow me down, but the fixed length forces me to move around to compose my shots. If I'm just wandering around taking pictures, this is my preferred method.

I also like to take pics of wildlife, and for that I use an AF zoom lens (natch!).
