You have my condolences, Ken. Both my 16-50 and 50-135 are awaiting repair for dead SDM.
One thing you could do is buy a 645Z because Pentax extends warranty support to your other Pentax bodies and lenses for the life of your 645Z support too. I plan to get my lenses repaired under that arrangement. You may not view this as cost-effective, however. :) On Mon, Oct 26, 2015 at 3:01 PM, Ken Hauck <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello PDML list, > > I have seen lots of discussion on the list about problems with SDM > autofocusing on the 16-50/2.8 DA* lens.
