I took out another manual focus lens today on my Fuji X-T2.? It is a 
Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 200/4, from the 1970s.? It's biggest 
shortcoming is that its closest focus distance is 2.5 meters (8.2 ft.)? 
Insects were not cooperative, so I moved toward the bird feeder support 
post, where this male Purple Finch was giving me the message that I was 
disturbing his snack.

The lesson learned was that old guys best stick to autofocus.
