I used Pentax bodies that support SDMs to move the motors when they had just started to be somehow unresponsive or moving slower, but that the SDM motors of my lenses had not yet died. I did also use my KP to do the above job, without any problem.

I usually use my K-3 III and K-1 to do it, used to mount my SDM lenses on my KP but now is somehow replaced by my K-3 III.

They have re-worked the new in-lens AF motors as the PLM for new lens models. However, many of the old DA* lenses are indeed optically excellent, e.g. the DA*300 F4 lens, but that SDM inside usually sucks.

I hope Pentax could live longer than we expected. Btw, no one had ever guessed that Pentax could out-live DPR. ;-)
