The one knock on that lens is that it hunts when focusing, so I just always assumed it was a design flaw of some sort.

Mine sometimes hunts too especially with low contrast moving subjects. AF on eyebrows or face hairlines works better than focusing just on skin. This is how Pentax AF works. 😄

That is how all autofocus works - if you have no contrast, no texture, neither PDAF nor CDAF can deliver a focused image.

Agree in general, unless you imply that Pentax can be as good as Sony's. Because it's not.
