I thought people were talking about using these contacts for USM drive. I thought PZ itself is a dead issue (can see no reason to resurrect it, particularly if Pentax are planning to equip lenses with USM), but the concept of driving something in a lens (instead of PZ) is a logical one when we talk about the USM drive.
Cheers, Ken ----- Someone from Pentax (perhaps a local rep) was quoted a couple of years ago as saying that Pentax might bring out new versions of the powerzoom lenses without pz. That seemed to acknowledge that the pz feature had not caught on. I have the PZ 28-105 and never used the PZ feature. I think most people never used PZ. It drains the battery, for one thing.
