Aperture rings are gone forever. And it does have ultrasonic focusing.
Tell that to Fuji, Olympus, and Leica, (OK so Leica is just trolling).
Ultrasonic doesn't necessarily imply focus by wire so it might not have
that.
The new 18-50 collapsible lens uses a sensor in the focus ring to run
the focusing motor, the lens can't be focused when the camera is turned
off. That and the admitted lack of a distance scale makes prefocusing
impossible, a useful capability if one is doing any street shooting is
simply gone. Sure fast and accurate enough auto focus could make up for
that, but, even though Pentax AF has improved immeasurably in the last
few years...
