I've never seen one so expensive before, but then again I've never seen an adapter that also adapts screw drive AF either. I kind of doubt that you'll find anything cheaper that actually will auto focus a K mount lens on a mirrorless body.  You'll be buying about a third of the working bits

Lovely image and nice colors! the slight curve in the yellow flower spike in the center makes the entire image more graceful and appealing, to my eye. If it were my image, I would probably crop out the partial yellow spike on the tight edge, but that is probably just me. Dan Matyola

I assume there's a motor in the adapter (drawing power from the camera). The first two pictures (the lens-facing side) show a screw-drive shaft, and also the two contacts that could provide power and digital signals for newer AF lenses, and may even provide power for power zoom lenses! I'd guess
