Re: Frozen DA* 50-135.
Thanks, everyone, for suggestions and condolences.
Nothing worked. It's locked up, on and off camera. I fiddled with the AF/MF
switch, cleaned contacts, mounted and dismounted it.
I head home Sunday, then it goes to Pentax.

My just received DA* 50-135 did the same thing the second time I used
it. Unmounting it and remounting it fixed it for a time, but I've had
to do it several times in the past week. Not too cool for a just out
