Are you conflating manual focus with manual exposure (i.e., manual mode)?

The camera can still do auto exposure for manual lenses, so your example of tilt-shift only applies to manual focus. For panos, I use the "exposure lock" feature on my A7Rii, but it is still auto.

Other than that, I agree. I use manual mode all the time.

Apologies, I read too quickly and thought that the GP was referring to focus as well as exposure. The rest still applies, however.
