I’ve never seen an AF lens with distance scales that were worth a crap. Especially if you’re trying to do it with a focus-by-wire lens that has no actual physical connection to the elements.

The classic method for street photography was zone focusing anyway, so you’d set your focus distance a certain ways out (or at hyperfocal, so everything beyond a certain line was in focus out to infinity), usually stopped down to increase the plane of focus.

It’s not so much the technology here, but the selection. As a photographer, I would 100% not expect the retoucher to be on the same creative page as me, unless the photographer really doesn’t care that much. I’ve cut down portrait raw shoots by a factor of 10, it’s just a normal thing I budget into the quote.

For boudoir work, I generally engage them in conversation and suddenly they realize they’re a lot better at posing than they thought they were. But that’s over the course of an hour or more, I couldn’t imagine trying to get 5 headshots right with that alone.

Nah, the Luddites would’ve been on our side - they would’ve been extremely concerned about the offloading of storage and media access to a few private entities.

Doesn’t honestly sound that surprising for the age. Give it 20 years.

I wonder how they test as far as writes remaining. Those things have to be have been run hard.

Also, hope you have a friend with a pallet truck.
