Proud owner of a DA*55 here (formerly owned the FA50). I find the
lens to be a stunner; everything from handling, build quality, bokeh,
clarity/contrast, sharpness, and wonderfully functional MF ring. The
focus isn't blazing - but it's huge focus throw and emphasis on
low-noise makes this understandable. I'm not sure if the SDM motor is
having to do less work, was updated since the DA* zooms, or the lens
is just less-owned, but I've yet to see or hear of a DA*55 failure.
Anyone here with personal experience or thoughts? Here is a K-5 and
DA*55 shot to wet your collective appetites:

Whatcha cookin' in that beaker? :)
I can only agree with you on the stellar qualities of the DA*55. Mine is
now my default carry. I've clocked over a year and a half with it and
have had no troubles. Nor have I heard of any failures from anyone else.
Welcome to the PDML, Andrew!
