The K10D/K20D do not have powerful AF motors, although they are noticeably less wimpy than the lower-end bodies. None of the Pentax bodies do (as compared to bodies like the Nikon F100 or F5 or the Minolta 7 or 9, the latter two have been known to strip gears in some lenses due to the torque of the AF motor). -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
