Timber, I am thinking of a number of points here. In no particular order.
1. You're very talented indeed. I couldn't compare with other
photographers, notably local ones, but few guys in my local camera club
have K10Ds and assortment of lenses, usually Tamron 28-75/2.8 and some
more. At least one of them has exactly that and he keeps getting prices,
medals and the honors in these international competitions to where he
keeps sending his photos. He usually shoots on the streets, meaning that
somehow he is fast enough.
2. If you have problems with focusing then I suggest two things:
a. Get a Katz Eye screen. It works wonders and it will also allow you to
see in real time if your AF is where you want it to be.
b. Given your eye sight (mine being very weak) you might want to buy the
viewfinder magnifier. I've got one recently and although it does not
have revolutionary effect, it is still very nice and it makes my eyes
strain less.
3. But of course if you say that these guys up there don't like that you
shoot with Pentax, then you might have to at least buy some into another
system, whatever it would have to be.
4. I tried few times to do casual shooting on the street with FA 43/1.9
and it seemed snappy enough for my needs. Also I remember that FA 50/1.7
wasn't a slouch either. I don't doubt your shooting technique, but may
be some special trial-and-error or self-training sessions may be of help.
