Well I've tried several things. Yes, it is screw drive. I checked the AF knob and it seems secure and everything works when I attach another lens to the k5 body. The new 55/300 also works fine when I attach it to an older, slower and clunckier *istD body. We're going to the camera store today and see what they say but Pentax is not abundant here. thanks to you all for the effort.

I switched out my Pentax battery for a newer and fully charged ProMaster battery which I use while the Pentax is charging. No luck. I should have mentioned earlier that I had no trouble when I attached this lens to my istD body. Worked fine the first time.

Battery is fully charged but might be old. I cleaned the contacts on both the lens and camera. No luck. Thanks though.

I just received this lens after a long wait on a backorder. The AF function doesn't seem to be engaging. It make an initial search then seems to disengage and what I think is the motor just spins, The only thing I can do is to remove the battery to stop it. A note to B&H suggested to remove the lens, turn the camera off for two minutes, reattach the lens and turn the camera back on. Didn't work. Send help. Thanks
