What do u think on theses two lenses?

I've used the Zeiss 24mm F1.8 on my FS100. I absolutely loved it. If I could afford one (I rented), I'd buy one. It's a great do-all prime. Sharp, crisp, fast. Perfect.

do you find it difficult when manual focusing?

If you were talking to me, the DoF is pretty shallow on such a fast lens. Yeah, I sometimes had to do a few takes on rack focusing to get it right.
We were shooting in dark woods, far from any city lights. We used 2 300w Arris and a 150 Arri for lighting, powered by a small generator. The Zeiss was great for the dark conditions. I also had a 50mm f1.8 Sony Alpha lens, but I stayed with the Zeiss the whole night's shoot, it was that good.
