No, not really. Common is that the aperture blades get dirty or oily, bit
that the mechanics break, this is a vey rare occurence.

Hm, interesting! C cas no USM; N is not a D lens. I am not familiar with
M. Pentax has the "D" functionality but no USM. It is also faster than
the Nikon, so maybe the price is justfied.

Wow, the Pentax is a steal! It has no USM like the C, but the P is much
smaller. Nikon now has "D", and Pentax too, so 200 DM saved.

You wish! Check the prices of the A 50/1,2.
