I would recommend the 'screw drive fix' - I did mine last year and speed seems similar to before, only real difference is that it isn't as quiet as SDM. I've seen several reports of SDM repairs having the same issue some time later

I've had two SDM failures on my 50-135, so screw drive fix it will be for the 16-50!

I wonder if anyone has a screw drive converted 16-50 for comparison.

Lens received! Fast delivery, thank you Blincodave!

This is a great lens and I am very happy with it! I will enjoy the strange looks I am hoping to get when I am out and about with it!

I have been looking into this lens a bit and I would love to own one!

I think it would be a fun addition to my current K5iis and would likely pair very well with the new flagship APS-C when it's released (hopefully) later this year.

My K-5 iis have served me very well for the past 7 years! No other newer camera has tempted me to move! I have loved the Pentax ergonomics since my MZ5n. But have to agree, the later models haven't bettered the 5!

I have high hopes for the new APS-C flagship, as I do want some of the faster processing, better low-light performance, I just want it in the K-5 body!

Ps the Sony can fire a TTL flash off camera... Something the Pentax still Cant.....

Sure? What are these for then?

Lol... I'm talking away from the camera not by the side of it....And something a little more modern..."Wireless" perhaps...?

TTL Wireless flash trigger for Pentax

But it's only a rumour!

Still, it's a useful camera and it doesn't stop us enjoying it. I use mine wherever a DSLR would be frowned upon. A Q-S1 doesn't even raise an eyebrow.

Same here, just what I used to use my Audit 110 for! It will be coming with me to the World Athletics Probably with Lens adaptor and the old A50mm F1.4 and the DFA100 Macro - just need a mini tripod solution for stability and looking at this: Fotopro-mogo

Was looking through DPReview news and found an old post regarding an SLR Magic Toy lens from April 2012.

However, I can't find any further information!

I would like to acquire this lens if possible, so does any one know if it ever saw the light of day and if it is possible to get hold of?
