Hmmm... How can this lens be "Louder and slower" when its a MF lens?
I find MF lenses to be faster and ultra-quiet than any AF system... and at 14mm does AF even matter much?
Really, the depth of field you get with this lens, even at f/2.8, is quite large. You will only have to make little adjustments when focusing to shift between subjects... Not quite like focusing a fisheye, but close to it.
