I feel like autofocus is so good. Are there times that you use manual focus? When I am looking through the view finder it almost seems impossible to actually manual focus a shot anyway.

Am I doing something wrong here? Just checking. Thank you.

    Been traveling for months and have been almost exclusively using the same manual focus 35mm lens (7artisans 1.4) for all my street photography. This was a purposeful choice though to force myself to engage more and have to focus on something manually, wish focus peaking worked a bit better on the A6500, great as a general guide but cant trust it fully. I shoot waist height with the screen facing up and use my thumb to shoot to avoid drawing to much attention while shooting in the street. Shot a great series of elderly men in Albania like this, really brought me back to photography for recreation rather than work.
