I use autofocus too. However, as Ken says at times it just wont focus, especially on macro with the 105. What I do then is get the camera to focus on my finger, lock the camera to manual focus and then point the camera at the subject and move the lens in and out until I hit the focus point. This is how I've managed to get photos of the polyps on Deadmans Fingers - auto focus, even with a torch, wouldn't work (it also means I end up with loads of crappy photos of my finger as I accidentally take a shot!!).
Don't know if it's the same with S&S, but the only time I ever use the Ikelite focus is when it's attached to the zoom of the Tokina.
HTH,
Rob
