There's a romance to manual focus in photography that's mostly felt by those who shoot on rangefinders. The turn of the focusing ring can be equated to the pleasant feeling of cupping your morning coffee. With it comes all of the mind's associations of the experience we truly need each day to simply function. For those of us who love manual focus lenses and manually focusing our LUMIX lenses, the LUMIX S5II got a sweet firmware update that makes this experience so much better.
