It would not be until the introduction of the landmark Minolta Maxxum 7000 (Alpha 7000 in Japan) in 1985, with its superior and better integrated phase comparison AF system and far wider lens and accessory selection, that autofocusing captured the 35 mm SLR buying public's imagination and the AF SLR camera revolution truly began. Asahi Optical's second AF SLR, the Pentax SFX (SF1 in the USA), introduced in 1987, owed its configuration more to the Maxxum than to the ME F; one that modern Pentax (and Samsung) digital SLRs continue to use today.
