Anything new in limited series would be a very welcomed surprise! Having and using the excellent Rokinon 135/2, I'm not interested in this focal length at the moment. I would be in a longer lens or something different/special though I would bet that a 200/2
or 300/2.8 lens would most probably be a DFA* prime...
The Limiteds are about build quality and compactness. A 200/2 or a 300/2.8 would definitely not be compact! But if you need/want a telelens, compactness is probably not your main priority anyway. Maybe a 200/4 could qualify as compact, but it'd probably be stretching the definition a bit.

I don't know for sure, but I believe it is the gears that make the noise, and not the focus motor itself.
