OK so talk of cup holders and heaters etc gives me the message loud and clear.
I apologise profusely for suggesting that Pentax could improve.
I shall return to my hole.

I really am baffled by this. And not just your comment, we see all day, every day people bashing Pentax for poor AF. How good do you want it to be? What am I doing different? Because I have a near 100% keeper rate for autofocus. I don't even try hard. Honestly trying to understand the problem. I assume our shooting styles are different or maybe the subject? Granted I do not shoot at birds or speeding airplanes.
It is using a K-3, in a chapel, shooting the bride walking down the aisle. And the shooting the couple leaving. AF-C. 30% keepers at best.

For landscape the K-3 is a gem. I love it in every respect.
For tricker situations it’s poor

Actually even in a well lit chapel the AF-C was woeful. I missed a lot of special moments as the bride made her entrance
