New Wide Angle Lens Ideas, please!

I would love to snag one of those Samyang 14mm but just don't have patience for manual focus.

Nice pic!
For an Ultra Wide Angle lens like the Samyang 14mm, you do not necessarily need AF (although it is nice to have) ... coz (as Mt Spokane Photography has already mentioned) if you put the lens on infinity focus, everything will be in focus from a few feet to infinity.
