The problem sometimes as we get older is not necessarily just vision issues but more often the delay between getting the subject focussed and pressing the shutter!
For many subjects this delay doesn't matter a jot, ie landscapes, still life, studio portraits etc. However if wildlife, action sports or even grandchildren is your thing.........then take it from me as a septuagenarian, good, modern autofocus dslr systems nail it every time!
Not the thing that Leica MF enthusiasts always want to hear, but I am afraid that it's true. I am the first to admit that AF never replaces that sensual movement required to focus a Leica lens...........but for me, getting the shot is far more important.
