I asked that to the rep's at Photokina, and there was no definite answer at that time. I have seen several more reactions from Pentax in various forums since that, and they say these three WILL have the driveshaft coupling as well as SDM for AF. So they work on the older DSLRs too. However, they also said they will decide on a 'per lens' basis in the future about including 'dual' AF. I guess it would drive up the price too much for the cheaper (kit type) lenses ...
