It seems that Pentax made that MF ring extremely sensitive, which can be both of benefit and a hindrance.
They also left us with plenty of MF and AF options as usual, so this is a matter of personal preferences.
I've found that this is why I like Pentax cameras as much as I do.
Thanks for all of your replies.

Wow. The depth of discussion here went way beyond my experience. Now I have to read and re-read the thread to try to glean the essentials from it.
One of the immediate things I took away from this thread was that there are more considerations to serious lens choices than are apparent at first.
To try to simplify matters a bit I bought a set of extension tubes to get close to 1:1 magnification with an older manual focus lens to see just how much macro shooting I would do with a macro setup in hand. I didn't shoot nearly as many macro shots as I expected to. I found that I shot much more with a normal lens and kept gravitating back to that setup than the macro. Maybe I've just been enjoying so many great macro shots out there on flickr that I got ahead of myself. It looks like these types of lens choices are more psychology than technical.
I'm quite sure now that if I had t he 31mm on my K-01 it probably would not come off very often.
