My main question is, how important is auto-focus in this situation?
I think it's quite important, for me any.
And is the auto focus on PZ-1p fast enough to give the benefit?
The problem of Z-1p's AF is not speed, but it can focus at the centre only. Just when you need it fast and snap, you have to re-compose first.
or some other.
Unless you plan to shoot from an distance, 28-70 is a pretty good range. In this case, I would consider the new Tamron SP 28-75/2.8 which is $330 only.
