This is my opinion here, not the general consumers: I like the MF lenses better than the AF. The build feels better and the motion is hard to match with an AF lens. I am glad Pentax stuck with the A-lenses. This way I have a whole load of lenses to choose from. This is why I stick with Pentax. Again, this is my opinion...I know the business reality is otherwise.
