G'day and welcome Bill - I see you've successfully linked to a site in your signature. What else was it you'd like to be able to do?

'Education is our Future.' Amen to that.
Lovely shots David.

Through your process of elimination, it does sound like the lens.
Reading through various threads here, it appears that on occasion, some people have 'loosened up' a lens by turning the focus ring gently from lock to lock a few times (off camera).
But you say this particular lens cycles itself when you engage the auto-focus function, but does not lock on at all? I'd be taking the lens in for a look.
If the lens won't work on a Kx body, but will on the K5, then that's not satisfactory. That the AF motor in the K5 is stronger would be no reason to accept this as sufficient performance on the part of the lens.

To put an Oz dimension to this, I'm lucky to have the Victorian Pentax distributor in Melbourne, as well as a specialist retailer called Digital Camera Warehouse. Each has had plenty of Pentax stock, both compacts and SLR.
They also stock K-mount lenses, and not just Pentax - my Tammy 90 macro came from DCW. Not every lens is there to behold (for eg they don't stock the 31), but most.

The colour reflections in the chrome in No 2 work for me, as does the composition of that shot.
The first may be a little soft / oof?

That first is my clear favourite Mat, although 7 is good too. The clean, black background helps IMO.

Really like the ones you've re-done, and No. 4 of the original set as well.

And the new laptop to go with it?
