Well, the DA* 50-135mm SDM is probably the slowest AF lens on Earth, gaining it the nickname of the sloth. Generally speaking, SDM lenses are slower than both screw-driven ad DC Pentax AF lenses, so the DA 17-70mm is a good candidate for being another slow-AF lens. However, I own it and I don't

No, the 14mm x 1.4x will become a 19.6mm f/4 in itself, whichever camera (if any) you put behind it. In case the resulting image will be large enough to cover the 24x36mm format (not yet confirmed), it will project a FOV corresponding to a 19.6mm f/4 lens. Dario -Messaggio originale-
