Here's an image from yesterday. Canon G9X. Taken just north of here and just off the Blue Ridge Parkway.

When I went mirrorless a few years ago, my main railroad photography lens became obsolete (no autofocus) - I’ve been getting by with a lesser lens. The current version of my old lens is finally having sales, so two weeks ago I splurged. Yesterday was a crisp autumn day, perfect for photography:

I was led to understand that manual-focus lenses work better on mirrorless cameras than they do on DSLRs, since mirrorless have manual focusing aids in the EVF (like focus peaking) that DSLRs do not.
Vintage lenses have been having a renaissance lately, particularly with MILC users.

I should clarify - by “no autofocus” I meant the screwdriver type AF in my old 80-200/2.8 isn’t supported, it needs AF-S type motors in the lens. You are correct, using manual focus lenses on mirrorless is delightful.

Ah I see. I've used an 80-200/2.8 AF-D push-pull quite a bit.
