Tiny bit 3D in Contax, but it almost seems as if Sigma used Zeiss design with their own glass.

It's not by wire, it's direct and feels as though it has slightly longer throw so is easier to fine tune the focus. Is nice and smooth too

that's good, is it damped enough to stay where you leave it if you take your hand off?

good, i've seen a lot of AF lenses where the act of taking your hand off the focus ring causes it to shift a bit.

no, i find it nice and solid. The longer focus throw and makes it a pretty sturdy lens to MF with
