Yep, you're not the only one to say this. That's why I find my experience so strange, a placebo effect for my AF module, maybe?
Damn, it's almost as if the hardware engineers at Pentax decided to "improve" the AF module, without telling it to the software guys. This would barely surprise me, I've seen it plenty of times in my field of work... Even seen our hardware dept coming to see us Software guys saying "hey guys, we just bought this 500K$ machine, it will be in production next week, could you interface it ASAP with our factory?", when what they are asking is in fact a 6-month job...
