Regarding the use of AF v MF, in my opinion the best way to macro is to set it to MF and the with Peak Focusing (Red highlight) move the focus or your whole rig in and out until the area of desired sharp focus is red highlighted. This is impossible with a DSLR as you need to see the viewfinder image sharply with no other visual aids. Great shame that there are no split image or fresnel focus screens with the out of focus = shimmet, in focus = clear image.
