There must be something coincidental about the dominance of manual focus, but there's nothing else common to all of the photos that I picked. Five different cameras, six different lenses - two different focal lengths, more or less - in small format, medium format, and digital. Now, there's a certain truth that my best lenses are all manual, but one of the photos is from my Olympus XA, which is one of the cheapest that I own.

But I do like autofocus - it just doesn't help create a good photo for me.
