There are some lenses out there that are manual focus but the glass is excellent. It keeps the price, size and weight down. I have a couple of those lenses. I shoot with a Nikon and some of the manual focus lenses have focus conformation chips in them so they work with the auto focus system as far as conformation in the viewfinder.
The ones I use are labeled as Rokinon lenses but they have a few trade names they go by. I have the 14 F2.8 and the 85 F1.4. They are a fraction of the price of the Nikon autofocus equivalent. It's not always about money. I also own lenses that cost as much as a used car. But if I can get a manual focus lens that is purpose built for something I can manually focus for then I don't mind doing it as long as the glass is decent. It's also a very good option for those on a strict budget. I feel compelled to post examples but I think you get it.
