Re that Pentax 85mm, why would the aperture ring be missing the detents between apertures? I can only think the lens has been disassembled cack-handedly and the ball bearing has been lost. I'd want to inspect the lens before parting with money for it.
A brand new Samyang 85mm for c.£200-300 might be a better buy, it certainly doesn't get bad reviews.

FWIW, there's a used UK Sigma on eBay BIN or make offer currently for £549, said to be in excellent condition.

The 16-85 might be interesting.
Doesn't seem to show a price for it.

Both settings? Aren't there three besides auto?
1. Lithium
2. Ni-MH
3. Alkaline
Also, are you on the current firmware v1.15 ?

Another thing to try is to completely run the batteries down and do a fresh recharge of them. The battery chemicals state of health might not be too good.

Have you set the AA battery type correctly in set-up menu 3 ? If its set to auto, perhaps it is not getting it right for some reason.

How is it with the D-Li109 ?

Surely it must have fired or it wouldn't be able to recharge the capacitor.

Ah right, thanks. Sort of makes sense now.

Is the lens for smartphone.
No idea, you posted the photo so presume you had a reason! I'd be surprised if one could couple a Pentax 100mm macro to a smartphone, but what do I know (about smartphone adaptors?)
