Leica has done something like that. For a few $$ they will upgrade older
lenses to work automatically with the digital M.

So what we really need
is a device that will add
the contacts to K- and M-lenses!

Pentax doesn't even need to do that, a better body
Would solve the problem. No mods to lenses are even
Necessary for full support on DSLR.

Shel,
The only addition is a set of colour codes on the mount that the camera
reads to identify the lens. It pretty much only affects Leica's
automatic vignetting compensation feature. The lenses retain all
exposure functions on the M8 without it. Essentially you're paying to
have a sticker
My take is that prices may go even higher, once everyone with a camera
older than the K10D realizes that the DA* lenses will not autofocus with
their camera.
Is that fact or rumor?

Not exactly rumor, more like reasoned engineering analysis. I'm not an
