I'd agree... AF systems are very slow in low light no matter how fast
your lens is. You could use a suitable flash that projects a spot-
beam (eg AF-500FTZ) but I'm not sure if you can do this without
actually triggering the flash when you press the button. Plus it's
big and needs batteries.
Not sure about the AF-500FTZ, but al least some Metz flashes can be set in
a 'spot beam only' mode. I usually switch to manual focussing in low
light: spot beams tend to disturb people, and ruin candid shots.
