Thanks, Kevin. That is what I was looking for. The Sigma 14mm actually

Not as bad as it sounds, that's 72,000 seconds. Say it takes on average 1
sec to focus (pretty conservatice I say), that's 72,000 focusing's, or
2,000 rolls of 36 exposure film - that means it will probably last longer
than those cheap plastic things those lenses attach to :)
