 I just had a DA 18-250 stop autofocusing on the K-7.  Other lenses
 continue to work at this point.  It goes stop to stop but never
 achieves focus... about a year old. I can't necessarially say it's the
 fault of the camera though.


 Clean the lens and body contacts just for giggles.

Why would giggles care.??

Hi
run a firmware update if there is one left, failing that, return it,
don't try for too long if you fear the k7 is killing other gear, that
loss is not covered under ANY warranty unless you lie to thr accessory
vendors

 I have had two 16 gig SDHC Sd cards of different makes go bad in the K 7. 
 None have gone bad my K20 or K10. Also the Simga 70 to 200 F2.8 HSM lens, 
 will no longer auto focus, (not that I really use auto focus) using the K 7. 
 The lens will still transmit the f-stop to the camera. This lens is about 
 five months old, I like the lens, but I begin to wander if the K 7 
 electronics is going haywire..I do also like the K 7, and like to shoot with 
 it on all manual settings. Any thoughts anyone ? Thanks Joe

Well, the lens will not work on the other bodies that I have. I mean the auto 
focus part. All my other lens work well on the K7 as do they on the K10d and 
K20d. So I do not think that it is contacts. Also I up dated the firmware in 
the K7 to ver. 1.02. But this was after the fact.. Joe
