My mirrorless Sony A7r with manual lenses is starting to annoy me.

I shoot with a Sony A7r with only manual lenses since 2016. Here is my workflow:I open the camera.Then 1 second later the camera is opened.Then I roughly frame the picture.Then I click the C1 button to open focus magnifier.Then 1/6th of a second later an orange rectangle appears.6. Then I have to click again on the C1 button to magnify the image.Then I focus.Then I half press the shoot button to leave the focus magnifier and have a global view.Then I frame again, more precisely this time.Then I shoot.Then I probably close the camera to the save battery life.When I got my A7r back in 2016 I thought "I'll get used to this heavy workflow". In a certain sense, yes I got used to it. Now we are in 2020 and since 2016 I shot over 10000 pictures, all manual focus. This is 10000 times the above heavy process. I'm used to it, and it's just today that I realized that lately I started being tired of it. I miss the fluidity of shooting film. Before leaving film for digital in 2016 I was shooting with a Yashica FX-103. When the camera wasn't broken, the workflow was a breeze:Crank the film while moving the camera to my eye and while telling something funny.Then frame and focus at the same time on the subject.Then click.Then put down the camera and laugh with my friends.In 2016 I left film because I lost fun in the process of film scanning that started feeling like an abysmal burden. Shooting digital was a breeze compared to the scanning process. The above 11 steps to take a picture with my A7r with a manual lenses was clearly an improvement over scanning forever.But now I'm tired of the above 11 steps. I could get a Zeiss Loxia lens to skip the step of clicking on the C1 button to open the focus magnifier. I could get a last generation Sony mirrorless with better battery life to stop opening and closing the camera all the time and to open the camera faster than 1 second. Maybe going back to the DSLR world with a split image micro prism focusing screen is the best option. Maybe I am willing to skip the razor sharp focus achievable with a mirrorless in exchange of a micro prism focusing screen in a DSLR. Or maybe I'm just tired of manual focus and I should get some lens with AF... But I remember my early DSLR days with manual lenses and I was just shooting so much that people were tired of being shot so fast and so many times that they were not happy and the pictures were consequently bad. Manual focus is the best to shoot friends and landscape and shoot at night, and so on, in my opinion.What are your feelings/thoughts regarding manual lenses on mirrorless cameras in the long run? Is there a place for a new kind of camera body at a mid way between a film camera and a digital camera? via /r/photography https://ift.tt/2Vo3SOO
