As long as it wasn't the 16-50mm or 60-250mm you will be fine.
It would be handy if Pentax would allow us to choose SDM or Screw drive via the menus .. at least we could carry on if SDM fails. (apart from the 17-70mm and 55mm of course)
Also the DA*60-250, i knew the DA*16-50 had major problems in the beginning but that seems to go better now and the DA*50-135 also had problems...As long as it wasn't the 16-50mm or 60-250mm you will be fine.

Pentax already said that developing the KAF2 lens mount (SDM+Screwdrive) was expensive and complicated, it might be that the dual-drive have caused some problems, haven't heard about a lot of problems with the DA17-70 or DA*55. At least they have not to use the mount anymore on upcoming lenses.

Did you need an ND to allow you to use a low enough shutter speed? I don't currently own any NDs to fit my big zoom but I've been considering buying a set.
With British weather, I don't think so Did you need an ND to allow you to use a low enough shutter speed? I don't currently own any NDs to fit my big zoom but I've been considering buying a set.
Simply use a higher f-number.

Rats!! I was certain that I had either been told about or read about the settings before I got my 540.
Anyway, I just tried and like you say the poor 360 does nothing.
Sorry about that.
Yeah I looked first through the manual because you could adapt it with the AF540FGZ but there is no such function for the AF360FGZ Rats!! I was certain that I had either been told about or read about the settings before I got my 540.

Tim how does the flash behave when you set the switch on "wireless" and on your camera, does it than switch off after 5 minutes or an hour?
I wander how smart the flash is

Your camera control over the flashpower is quite limited... don't know how useful that is but something for you to decide.
As for the radio trigger, you would also need to get one for your Pentax flash but like that you could use any flash you want so you could get a cheap flash from ebay. Of course all flash only work manually but that's something you probably will work to use because of the amount of control you want.
Look at what strobists thinks
That's all that I wanted to say, good luck with your sale

2 Year if bought from a pro dealer.
From what I understand there are also laws in the UK that a product must "satisfy", with that I mean a DA* lens is a high quality product so with normal use it shouldn't break down after 3 years, at least that's your expectation.

Why not buy wireless trigger, you can keep using you Metz 36 then or isn't that an option?
