i got an autofocus lens to make my life on the job easier, the nikon 35mm f/2D.
I'd say like, 10-20% of the time the autofocus noticeably failed, but for the rest of the time it's really made my workflow easier. I can actually shoot at wide apertures and have people in focus! No more guessing my focus in the darkness and no more tight apertures resulting in high ISOs!
In hindsight, I realized I should be shooting with autofocus on shutter disabled and just use the AF button and take over the focus with manual at the soonest sign that the AF was crapping out. This is the theme of my rave assignments, it's 5 hours of grinding photos, I learn a lot fast both during and after the shoot.
Luckily, a few of the times AF failed me turned out to be fun shots, like this one.
Not settled yet on a consistent editing theme for em all so this one is edited pretty neutrally.
i like to assign the AE-L/AF-L to autofocus and disable autofocus everywhere else. that way i can shoot pictures very quickly and in all situations without the need to change my settings. you mentioned using an AF button, is it the Df AF-ON button and does it do what i described out of the box? if so, that's rly cool, none of my nikon camera has that
(nice picture, i like blur :D)

Just got an Arsat-H 50mm f/2, it's the smallest f-mount lens I have and I quite like the look it produces
got some new toys
rainy walk
ghosts, featuring ghosts
abandoned lot self portraits
10sec timer and using trash on the ground to mark my focus distances
high contrast - not how i usually would edit something like this, kinda strays from the lens' character, but i quite like the drama of it
ended up underexposing this shot a bit too much, the sunset was only like that for a few minutes though
double exposed with the Df's onboard multi-exposure mode, pretty pleasing result, probably shouldve shot the portrait darker though

50 days of shooting 50mm
@(: ye the AF-ON button does that default, I loooove how this camera has physical buttons dials and levers for even the more obscure settings
