ISO - you can use this Japanese company to buy the item and send it to you, cost around US$10 to 15 for the service :
http://www.tenso.com/en/shopping/index.html
and sometimes it comes up on the Japanese Amazon (US$375) :

None in stock now but they usually have them once every couple of weeks.
I've just won mine on EBay so will have it by the weekend !

The Pentax in the thread title does not allow AF to pass through as you say but provides AF for normally MF lenes. This is achieved by having internal moving elements driven by the camera AF drive spigot.

i think it should be a question mark after that statement not an exclamation as it is quite possible these days that one firm makes them and they are badged by which company ordered them. it happens with lots of goods these days all made under one roof and badged as required so why not in photographic manufacturing.
