If the lens has a weakness it is indeed how it handles highlights but dialling in a -1/3 or -2/3 EV easily helps that. AF is perfect for me, not fast but not slow either, and certainly accurate.
Your photos look nothing like the other examples posted here, including my own. I can't help but think that there is something wrong with your copy.

You requested unprocessed images. I have placed some here (Dropbox - DA200) to look at. Developed with Lightroom with Huelight Standard profile and only some exposure (+0.85EV) added to the church tower and my daughter on the swing (+1.50EV). The photo of the cat has its white balance warmed (that floor always throws the WB off). Otherwise as is, at full resolution.
As is probably clear from these photos: I am very happy with the DA200 and its performance on the K-1. If you have the room, it’s great for portraits. Hope this helps.
These are the processed version of the photos:
1. Close focus.
2. At full resolution you can see birds flying around the tower.
3. Hard light is a challenge for this lens. I was probably shooting without hood, not sure if that would have helped.
4. Not perfect focus on the eyes but a wonderful shot of another of my daughters. As you can see: the aperture blades are not rounded.
5. Cat’s hairs are always nice to asses sharpness. This photo is a significant crop.
