Rick / PJ, the SDM Motors were born bad. If there is any binding on the
motor it WILL draw a larger current, but NOT from Full Bar to 1.
Note: every K-5 series has the notorious Battery Indicator PROBLEM on the
Top LCD, which Ricoh-Pentax never solved.
And with some lenses I have noticed this behaviour gets still bad, though
erratic.
You remove the Battery or OFF & ON the Camera and the behaviour returns to
normal.
Point to NOTE: When you switched to another Lens the Battery Indicator
returned to Normal. So K-5 BUG.
Kind Regards.
Bipin.
