As I said before, I have both the MF & AF versions. The MF version is larger (72mm filter threads) & heavier. I have cameras that can utilize either version, but I normally opt for the AF one due to convenience. That shot I linked to was taken with the older lens mounted on a Nikon D70s which didn't meter with older MF lenses, thus I had to manually determine exposure.
I didn't have an autofocus camera when the f/2.8 was introduced, so that was no issue. I had to laugh the other day when someone in another thread made the uninformed comment that the lenses "made for film" were no good for digital!
