I have had my DA* 50-135 F2.8 about 15 months. In that time I doubt if I have taken more than 150 images with it.
I used it yesterday and it worked fine. In fact I got a particularly fine image with it. Then it went into my camera bag overnight. Today I pulled it out and put it on the K20D. It won't focus--either by AF or manually. The focus ring turns but the the scale doesn't. Same thing when it is off the camera. It somehow broke itself overnight sitting in my bag. This couldn't come at a worse time. I am in Rome for a few days, and have been finding this lens useful for several shots. So I will have to pay Pentax to repair it. Then what can I expect? Another 150 shots before it has to be repaired again? Pentax, I am not amused.
