Re: Pentax smc DA* 50-135mm F2.8 ED (IF) SDM

I am sorry ,but I would never buy this lens. Unless Pentax put in the camera tha ability to run from screw mount via firmware. But I  am not sure this lens can run from screw mount. SO they can keep it, it is ashame cuz  the image quality is there. Maybe they need to use a better motor.

I believe it can be "hacked" at home to run on screw drive just like the 16-50 2.8
