Just got my DA* 16-50 back from Pentax's outsourced service center (C.R.I.S.
Camera Service, in Arizona). They did a terrible packing job with the lens,
letting it float free in a box of styrofoam peanuts that wasn't completely
full. UPS managed to smash up the box pretty bad, but thankfully didn't
appear to hit the lens itself. Front element had a weird, oily haze on it.
Might have been from the plastic bag the lens was in. Cleaned up alright,
thankfully.
Mounted the lens and the SDM worked immediately (you may recall my lens used
to take 10-20 seconds for the SDM motor to activate previously). The AF
even seems a little faster than before. Woo! Receipt said they replaced
the "HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor)". Hopefully the technician didn't shoehorn a
Sigma motor in there somehow. ;)
