Ive owned my 50-135mm for over four years now and it it regularly gets used and never has any focus issues. My 16-50 which i bought used shoots around 600 images a week and havent had any focus issues with that one either.

This is why I would never buy an SDM lens unless new, with a two year guarantee.

I've read a lot of comments to the effect that the motors have to be moved once in a while. Even if you don't use the lens for photography, every week or two you should mount it, move the focus ring and engage the AF a few times. It can also help to manually move the focusing ring every time before use, to make sure it's not stuck.

That's all from the many (many) comments I've read during my four-or-so years as a Pentax user.

Best of luck with the repair. I'm sure a few people will have already done it and will be able to say how much it costs and where it can be done.
If you buy new niw they should have the new upgraded sdm parts fitted so failure 'should' be minimalised.

The new repairs are done using the latest parts that are supposed to stop failure. The new repairs also make focussing faster so it is worth doing.

What is weather resistant

"Although a material may be determined to be weather resistant, this does not mean that it will not incur any damage. Given enough time, even the most highly rated material will eventually wear out."

Mental block it happens to all if us. Maybe stop reading and look around more, people, buildings, objects. Even just a trip to the woods you will see things to photograph.

good luck with your search.
