That does not sound good. In what way has it failed?

Try removing the lens and moving the switch, and check for any debris in the screw drive.

If you want an autofocus macro lens (1:3 'macro' zooms aren't that great - the Pentax kit lens will do about 1:3 at the long end), then the best option is one of the 100mm-ish macro primes.

The Tamron 90mm, Pentax D-FA 100mm, and Sigma 105mm are all fabulous lenses: I have the Pentax (well, the Samsung version which is optically identical) because of quick shift and because I got it at a good price.

In fact, buying whichever of those three you can find at the best price is not a bad plan at all.
I agree. A manual focus version of any of those lenses would also work well, ideally with a PKA mount, at a good price. Macro and AF usually do not mix.

Surplus to requirements and now for sale, a Tamron 28-200mm LD IF F3.8 - 5.6 Adaptall 2 manual focus zoom with PKA mount. The lens is versatile and a useful focal length on film or digital. Quite soft wide open with best performance is around f5.6 - f8.0.

In excellent condition, no visible wear to the barrel or glass, no fungus or scratches and smooth zoom and focusing. Included are the original lens hood and front and rear caps.

Cost is £100 + postage.

I will post some photos later.
