Though all the reported problems with SDM failures, my most favorite zoom from Pentax to this date is Pentax DA* 50-135mm f/2.8. It is a dependable zoom with prime qualities. Though slower in speed, it rivals well in event photography with my Pentax FA 77mm f/1.8. I truly hope that my copy stays strong and not run into any SDM failures.

I took it out last weekend after the rain and the zoom works well with Pentax K-x and AF in SDM is quiet and locks on target responsively. I desire on longer reach for the zoom in nature walk as 135mm is just too short in reaching objects in a distance.

That's a beautiful set of photos, Hin.
The DA* 50-135 is indeed an excellent lens. I ended up selling mine when I switched to manual primes, but I'm still impressed when I look at the photos taken with it.

I love my DA*50-135 too. It isn't the speediest to focus, but it gets the job done beautifully doesn't it! I hope we both don't ever run into problems with it Hin. May we both enjoy it for years and years to come, no problems!
