The recent posts about the K3-III got me to wondering again about whether I'll
stick with Pentax and get a K3-III, or switch brands.
I know a few of the posters here have already moved over - I'd appreciate it if

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
