Yes, I loved the Sigma lenses for those reasons too but realised that I can get my dose of aperture ring and manual focusing by using one of my 'vintage' lenses.I agree that it's the Sigma lenses that attracted me to the L-mount far more than the Panasonic ones (and certainly not the Leica ones) and it's the Sigmas I get the most enjoyment out of using. The Lumix 50/1.8 is optically fantastic but I miss the aperture ring and solid metal feel of the I-series lenses when I'm using it.
I haven't noticed any difference in AF speed or accuracy between my Lumix and Sigma lenses.
For convenience, improved weatherproofing and for me a better ergonomic/aesthetic match with my SL2S it is Panasonic S
