http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message=16666807 Any thoughts?
"Reason for this is that the heavy optics in a fast telezoom needs improvement to the autofocus system, this probably means in-lens autofocus motor, and it won't happen before the D replacement is ready to go on sale."
This is clearly nonsense as Pentax already have fast zoom lenses and primes with AF. As far as I know they work! The collaboration with Samsung may have made Pentax able to finally realease the KAF3 mount. The FA* lens replacements may be candidates for USM. Then again it might not happen...
