Hello,
One of the issues of these lenses is build quality. But it is not only Pentax´s or Ricoh´s problem. Unless going for Sanyang [murdering the spelling, I know], most AF lenses have increased their price heavily.
For that, you need to go for the older FA lenses, if you can find them.
Not that easy to come by.
And the AA filter... it is true. That is the reason, usually, that the Canon-Nikon photos appear to be more liquid, more detailed.
Pity that Cosina is no longer having the "opportunity Voightlanders", those old fashioned marvels.
And Pity 80´s are no longer coming back. I did really liked the Pentax old 80´s desing approach to lenses, from those metal tanks of macro to the petite 50 1.4
