This thread is funny... It reminds me of the guy who's pissed that the K10D does not have GPS datum sets or NEMA connectivity so he can embed Lat/Lon information into the EXIF data. He probably wants Real-Time Traffic Avoidance to boot!
Then there's the guy who says Pentax sucks because they don't offer WiFi in their DSLRs.. Right! The last thing we need is some twit's hijacked K10D spamming all of us with images of his cat and over-saturated sky photos taken in his backyard. "All your images are belong to us"

I know why everyone is having a hard time with it, it makes no sense and has no benefit.
Without AF lock you would constantly be over-shooting the AF point. Think about it, pressing a button to focus yet it doesn't stop when it actually focuses. It makes NO sense! Then, once you overshoot it one way you need to press yet another button to bring it back so you'll end up overshooting a second time, and over and over again. And you want Pentax to 'take note' of this next 'killer feature'?
Sorry but, this just doesn't seem a worthy addition to ANY camera.

I must admit, I'm having a hard time following you.. If I understand your question correctly, you DO have manual control of AF lenses on the K10D.
Switch to MF from either AF-C or AF-S and you'll have manual focus control on an auto-focus lens.
Also, even with the camera in AF-S or AF-C Mode you can take advantage of the Pentax Quick-Shift focus system. Essentialy, if you have any DA or D-FA lenses mounted, you can instantly switch from AF to MF by simply grabbing the focusing ring on the lens and focusing.
"these lenses feature the innovative Quick-Shift Focus System, which allows the photographer to first capture the subject focus in AF mode, then move to manual focus without the need to perform mode switching operations."
