I don't know, more than half my lenses are manual focus, all but one of the
"fast" ones are. I sometimes wonder how anyone tracked and focused before
with a high fps camera before AF was invented.
They had real viewfinders with real focusing screens.
My K7 won't keep up with a bride and her father during a wedding
processional.
And, with the viewfinder being the camera equivalent of a sonotube, manual
focus isn't an especially easy task either.
This means that my best technique is to prefocus on a spot and shoot when
the bride enters it, which is precisely the way I did it in the 70s.
In essence, Pentax AF technology is the same now as it was 35 years ago.
