Using a MF lens solved the AF speed problem.
That's the solution I've used on every autofocus Pentax SLR.

I still have my *ist D (what a pain to type that on a BlackBerry) with the grip
and an A50 1.7 in my office. I use it for all Chemistry's web photos. It's slow
and, by today's standards, pretty low res. Using a MF lens solved the AF speed
problem. I just keep abusing it. I did like that body. It felt solid and
worked, probably because I had no real expectations. I'd sell it if I got an
offer (wait for Friday) but I'll remember it fondly. I won't miss the K10D.
The bodies just change too quickly with DSLRs. You can only get attached to the
lenses.

I can say the same for the K-x. There was always something with the
older bodies that was grating, even the K10D (ISO limit).
K10D: slow-if-ever autofocus, variable exposures, flash exposures COMPLETELY
unpredictable. Oh, I could go on and on.
Have I mentioned recently that it's just sitting on a shelf in my house? What
to do, what to do. I guess I'll keep it as a spare in case (gasp) anything
should (gasp) happen to the K7 requiring it to be sent in for service.
