You could try the SMC Pentax-FA J 75-300mm, available at just over £100 from SRS. It's full frame, but has no aperture ring, so you'd need to see is your SF7 would work in Shutter Prioirty or Program mode.

All the sections are there.

The individual sections have descriptions, plus there are explanatory stickies where relevant, including in Classified Ads.

Hope that helps!

For flowers a 55-300mm is excellent. A macro lens is also very useful and I'd tend to favour the 100mm as it gives a better working distance.

There's no marque with better backwards compatibility than Pentax, so I think the more expensive bodies will continue to support what you need for some time yet.

The past track record is very good, with few exceptions.

Asahi Photo or Harrow Technical might be a good place to start.

Nicely thought out and a good read.

That was a very fruitful wander round the garden!

It looks interesting and seems to suggest that Pentax are looking to satisfy the needs of videographers. It seems everything is being given its turn for attention.

Centre point focus is fast and the position can be held on that half press as we recompose. No need to select anything.

If needed, QuickShift can be used to alter the focus point slightly. In practice I hardly ever do.

If you are close, for example on the Farne islands, then the 55-300mm should be fine.
