Perhaps I'm a little spooked/gun shy. This is why I stopped using the 43/1.9. Had two with the same type characteristic. It was an optical design flaw - a failure on Pentax' part. I looked through PPG for others using this same lens and could not immediately visually identify the issue on any of them. It seems odd that it would be random or that it would be a product of zoom-while-shoot as that would affect all objects in the pic. Perhaps it is that specific lens alone.
