It is not RICOH'S fault, it was Hoya's I'll get all politcal now and blame the last labour government because the street light has just gone out outside my house...

True but they could at least make an effort! Ricoh has brought about one body of their own so far, lenses still to come, they seem to be critising the horse because the carts broke!
Why should the reviewer have to make the effort, it's down to Pentax to supply the best combination they have to get the best review. Unfortunately the fastest zoom lens Pentax currently produce is the 18-135mm and had they used that the IQ would have probably been commented on (even though it's a superb lens for what it is).
Until Ricoh start producing faster focusing lenses there will always be comments about af speed ... how fast they release those lenses is entirely down to them.
Incidentally, the review linked to did not say the K-3 had sluggish AF...
(possibly because they were too busy tinkering with the latest Asus motherboard or Intel processor)
Joking Jules
The sooner Pentax/Ricoh stick the DC motor or faster AF into the DA* lens the better. Until then they will struggle on the likes of 60-250, 300, 50-135 to not have this problem.

For anyone wanting a macro/landscape/portrait/ anything not moving in an erratic manner camera it has to be the best (APS-C) out there at the moment.
Edit : Added APS-C
I have to say though that after looking at matwhittington's leaf pictures the level of detail in that sensor is breathtaking.

I will still be persevering with Pentax for my karting shots, because when I do get a goodun, it sure is a goodun
