Get a ZX-5n and search and find the Pentax AF 1.7x Teleconvertor, then you
have 4 lenses, and maybe an aditional 4 autofocus lenses!
It converts manual focus lenses (usally F4 or faster) to function like
autofocus as it moves the element in the teleconvertor!

Pentax apparently makes two grades of filters. The basic filter just
reads Pentax. The higher grade filter is a coated filter. The coating is
the same SMC coating found on Pentax's lenses. This higher grade filter is
labeled SMC Pentax.
The SMC filters are solidly built.

Try atleast to get a SF-1n or SF-Xn, as Pentax will still service those.
You can send one in for a CLA and feel good about it!

No rib at all, There is an AF lens in the converter that will focus if
there is enough light from the primary lens. In low light or a slow lens,
it doesn't focus just like your regular AF lens when you are trying to use
