People can complain about autofocusing all they want, but
photographers made do without autofocusing cameras for years and still
got good photographs. Even in fast action situations.
This was back when viewfinders were a decent size and manufacturers put
decent screens in for focusing with. The times have changed, finders are
half the size and not as good (though Pentax does better than most), and
stock focus screens are designed for everything but focusing.
Look at how sports photography has evolved over the past 25 years since
AF went from being not available to a nearly useless curiosity (which is
where Pentax is stuck) to the systems in the modern high end Nikons.
What the top photographers are doing today in sports would not have been
possible except for blind luck 30 years ago.
