Take your point snappychappy. The last time this was discussed it was decided against as generally it's not much of a problem and many people like the freedom from background noise.
Anyone who does have a strong feeling about it is more than welcome to drop me a PM to give their thoughts. I'm sure it will be discussed again.

The internet tends to exaggerate issues as only those with a problem tend to post. The thousands more who have no problem are quite happy so don't generally bother to say anything....
Just buy and enjoy, there's no major, inevitable problem.

It looks promising, but the skill was yours, not the cameras.

Perhaps Pentax sourced a new supplier at some point. The tsunami may have meant a few things had to be resourced to try and maintain supplies.
It's pure speculation....

You could always use a filter over your flashgun to make any minor adjustments you felt were necessary.

The traditional approach to street photography would be wide angle lens, set at 10 feet or so, and fofget the focusing.
However, there are other approaches. I would agree that AF is nowhere near being necessary.

Cheddar open air baths. Once a pleasant place to relax and swim, the last time we saw it a derelict mess.
I wonder if it's been renovated or removed by now?

Don't forget that in days of yore manual focus cameras were used very successfully to capture the perfect moment. Try to press the shutter release just before the peak moment of action. The small delay before the shutter fires needs to be taken into account.
The machine gun approach can also be successful, but may also result in missing every point of interest.
Just try, and have fun whilst doing so.
