I'm looking for a faulty Pentax 17-70. I want to cannibalize components to try to fix mine!

I can't write you in PM but I'm interested in your lens as long as you're willing to ship it abroad (Sweden).

Thank you for your deep analysis, but I'm sure it is the lens. Maybe the lens board.
I I took a part the first 3 layers and didn't notice broken flat cables, burnt components or other odd things.
The first pin is missing in the picture, but it's there!

Yes, I did it, with no success.
But I realized that it's not a matter of autofocus. If I turn on the camera with no lens attached, the same message appears. Furthermore, on exif data there is no reference to the lens. So it looks like a defect of contacts or lens board.
What do you think about?

Hi,
I've a Pentax 17-70 lens with something strange. When I fit it in the body (K S1), the camera doesn't recognize the autofocus capability and set to MF only.
Everything works fine with the 18-55 kit lens.
I read a lot about SDM issues but I think this is something different.
Any idea?
... and no, before you ask, it's out of warranty and I would like to fix it by myself... if I can!
