Thank you so much for all help. I would take that procedure to see if I can magically bring AF to live. I love everything about this lens.
The pictures it takes are beautiful. This was done on the K-1 just a couple of weeks ago ...

I've yet to try the *55 on my K1, but I'll now make a point of it.

It should be worth $130. My argument would be that it's like an improved version of the Pentax-A 50mm f1.2. Sure, f1.2 sounds better but with the slightly greater focal length, depth of field works out to pretty much the same, check a DOF calculator. Plus you get much newer coatings, focal length reported to the camera, lens name in the EXIF and all-weather construction. A JJC generic replacement hood for the 55-300 fits, reverse mounts and works perfectly. The manual focus ring feels weird but it's wide.

I'm trying not to talk myself into making an offer myself. I already have one.
