Need help - Convert 16-50 to Screw drive

I have a 16-50 SDM that needs converting to screw drive. I understand that this cannot be done using the K3, so is there someone that could convert this lens to screw drive for me? I don't really want to buy a K5 just for this purpose. Thanks,

Mark

I offer that as a service. Send me a private message and we can work out the details. FYI - I primarily handle customers in the USA due to annoying paperwork for international shipments.
