Why???

All those lenses will work with screw drive only bodies, if its to get around a broken SDM lens then repairs with the newer parts can be done fairly reasonably.

I don't see the point of this...

I do understand your point of view. It is obvious That the Best choice is to repair the Lens, but there are many situations where you might consider bot using sdm .
For example, the cost of reparing, using a converter, the lack of time to sens the Lens for repair it, an already failed sdm, etc...

In thèse cases, thé double af possibilities of thé Lens might be usefull

Hmm the use of a teleconverter is a good idea for longer glass maybe the 300mm f/4

I sold my 300mm DA for a 300mm FA 4.5 so I can use AF with a converter.

I will try to get the lens rom from a 300mm as soon as I can

As I noticed that very first producted 16-50mm have a slower but smoother SDM than latter ones. ( I had a very first 16-50mm avaible in France and since, I broke it, exchange for a second with SDM failure, repaired and I tried more than 5 16-50mm during a sale I made by spliting K20, 50-135 and 16-50mm before the price increasing tiume)

Hello,

There will be no twin lens kit with 18-55mm and 55-300mm DAL in the UK ?

You need both parts or only the right one ? ( it is the very rear of the lens, isnt it ?)

In France, the cost of repairing is very expensive. But it is still possible.

For flash gun, you can find cheap one :

METZ Flash 24 AF-1 for Pentax
METZ Flash 36 AF-5 for Pentax

or

Pentax AF 200FG.

I think that the Metz 36 AF-5 is the best choice as far as in France, it is cheaper than the Pentax, and its head can move vertically.
