| Jan 24, 2014 at 18:55 | comment | added | his | Live view makes manual focusing really easy and not guessing at all (as opposed to modern viewfinders on crop cameras - that is educated guessing). If you can't focus and recompose this seems to be the best option. Focus bracketing, if supported by your camera, would be another option. | |
