Is Autofocus Essential For Your Videography Business?

Hey,

I am currently in the blackmagic ecosystem and starting a videography business. With the release of the Pyxis, there is an affordable box style camera that I can invest in which corporate clients will look at as a "real camera" (I know that some clients have issues with the bmpcc6k - which is what I have). Then I could have A & B cams.

However, Blackmagic doesn't have autofocus. How important is having autofocus to your worklife? I've been using a few cameras lately which have it and it seems very impressive, especially for run and gun. But if I was going to move into autofocus, that would require selling my blackmagic and investing significantly more in a box/cinema camera - like an FX6 or a Red Komodo.
