In this video we explain how to do 'zone focus' especially in the context of street photography. In some ways, manual focus can be faster than even the fastest auto-focus. That's because once the 'zone' is set, there is no need to focus anymore, meaning you spend zero time on focusing. This is a great technique for street photography because speed is very important in many cases. It is also an easier and more reliable way to use manual focus lenses. Try it out!
