DA70mm - when I got the K-5 I pulled out a bunch of much neglected K lenses. DA70 somehow had taken one for the team, not being used for maybe a year. The SDM had seized up, and manual focus felt most unpleasant. CR Kennedy has quoted $88 for the repair. Not bad under the circumstances, but annoying.
DA*16-50 - bought from KEH to fill the niche of a weather resistant wide. Beautiful looking lens, but the SDM totally dead on arrival. Good ol' KEH agreed for me to get a quote from CRK to get it fixed.
