This is a good answer to my original comment.
And the only reason I bring up the DA 40 is because it is my one high quality lens (other than the 15 which is a completely different beast).
It would be ridiculous for me to compare them to any of my other rather run of the mill lenses. However when shooting action the AF of any of my lenses is rather invaluable... and I'm sure that it would be true when you are talking about the FA limiteds as well. The Sigma 30 is AF.
Once again, I'm not sure why those prestige lenses are all MF, but Nikon and Canon manage to produce some very high quality, fast, AF lenses at f1.2! Sure they are crazy expensive but these lenses DO have autofocus and work just fine. Just saying.
