yes i understand sharpness isn't issue for the 4k. The most important for me is bokeh & sharp lens, i want to avoid any sharpness via post-production which can cause aliasing issue on some 4k TV.
You kind of contradict yourself saying you understand sharpness isn't an issue for 4k video (which is true), but also that you want to make sure you have a sharp lens, because otherwise you would have to have sharpening in post....
I'm not a video expert, but in my experience nothing ruins footage more than poor AF, or essentially just any AF since no system works that well. They all will have some jitter and occasional hunting and that does look bad, as bad as shaky handheld footage.
We've all seen youtube clips where the focus is locked on the presenters face, then it shifts out of focus for 5 seconds, then snaps back into focus, only to shift the focus to the tip of their nose, and then jump back...AF just doesn't work very reliably for video in general, and the 56/1.2 APD or non, is a rather slow clunkly lens in terms of how it AFs, so sharpness issues aside, I would consider some other options if video is your main pursuit.
For stills, its simply a stellar lens. Lovely rendering, especially the APD, but tracking action ? Not its strong suit
