This morning I shipped to Pentax for repair all gear recently
purchased:
K20D: The sensor developed a cluster of pixels in white, along with
a line bisecting this cluster and going across the entire image.
This has ruined many of the photos that I took recently in Italy.
DA* 50-135: One day in Italy it worked fine. The next day it
wouldn't focus, either automatically or manually. (Yes, I cleaned
the contacts, etc.) Shaft-drive seems still to work. This lens had
taken fewer than 150 images.
DA* 16-50: It has severe edge weakness at longer focal lengths. I
suspect that this can't be corrected and that I will have to buy
another one.
The lenses are out of warranty.
I know that other brands also have problems with defects. But is it
possible for a customer of those brands to have defects in all
recent purchases?

damn, Joe. Sorry to see this. Let us know how it goes.
