So I'm looking at lenses for my sports kit (namely, basketball) since I'm not going to be getting a K-1 any time soon. I've heard about the DA*50-135's notorious slow AF, but I was wondering if the AF is any faster after it's converted to screwdrive (I'm using a K-3). How does it compare to the Sigma 50-150 that's crazy hard to find?
(I've had some pretty good results with non-HSM/non-SDM screwdriven lenses - for example, I use a Tamron 28-75 for a good deal of my college basketball photography.)
