Or they could just have the shaft go into a simple sensor that controlled the USM.

If USM is included it means that it won't AF on older bodies.


Couldn't Pentax use an automatically-disengaging clutch (like they use for manual focus on most of their newer AF lenses) to couple the old-style mechanically-coupled AF to a new USM system? That way it wouldn't slow down the USM system when it wasn't being used.
