Default Can you manual focus as well as your cameras auto focus?

I'm in a bit of a predicament!!

I'm rather keen on the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 but not having an auto focus motor, and my recently purchased Nikon D5100 doesn't have an in body focus drive (knew I should have got the D7000!) I'm wondering how I'd cope relying solely on manual focusing.

I realize they're are other options but by all accounts the lense above is something special, often being rated higher than the Nikon 12-24mm f3.5.

I've just been experimenting with a few shots of the lounge with manual and auto focus and it appears the camera is better at judging perfect focus than me!!

Your thoughts welcomed!

Matt
