Touit Zeiss E-mount lenses

I have zeiss 24 f1.8 . It is great lens and I like this lens because is so small and you can even take a some macro shoot (not true macro ,but very close shoot ) I have zeiss 100 f2 and the biggest problem is when you start rotate focus ring . I get all shake straight away , so it is very hard to get smooth focus even if you use tripod . I was going to get more zf lens but I change mind ,I will get 32 and 12 touit
 
I recently received the new Touit 12mm & 32mm and discovered early on that the Auto Focus does not work when the camera is in Auto Focus mode.
I shot with the 12mm yesterday and discovered that there is exposure flicker when using this lens in Auto Exposure mode. I haven't shot with the 32mm yet to know about the flicker but anticipate it will be there too.
It's a shame, because one must make a tough decision sometimes between Crystal Sharp Images OR the convenience of Auto Focus and Auto Exposure Modes,
(which have a lot to do with my choice of an FS100 camera in the first place!)
Folks at Sony who might be reading this: Please Include proper operation of the new Zeiss Touit Lenses in a soon to be Firmware Upgrade. Makes me nervous about purchasing the new 16-70 Zeiss as well.
It's kind of ridiculous to have to buy a 50MM Zeiss Touit for sharpness, AND a Sony 50mm lens for auto functions, doe this for each focal length, and one must lug around twice as much gear as really needed.
Not to mention the Price of the Zeiss glass. Please remedy this for FS100 and the new FS700R bodies.
