agreed...tempting price. however i noticed the irregular shape of iris, is that typicall for DA35 macro?
Tried all my own lenses, and not only did they all 'suffer' from this to a greater or lesser degree, but none of them were consistent.

Can't afford a new one, and the insurance says I was careless.
Maybe they should read their own small print.
Not deliberate = accident (aka careless) = they pay out.

Amazon's suggestion that using it for longer than 12 months is 'evidence' (my word) that there was no fault at the time of purchase is wrong. What if it had been bought and used only a couple of times in that period? Conversely, what if it had been used 60x24x7? If could have failed inside the first month. Moot argument.
Also, since Amazon are referencing and arguing UK law, and thus accepting it falls within UK jurisdiction, then the Small Claims Court process can be used for recourse, which can now be done wholly over the internet I believe, and doesn't cost much.

Do you happen to know if the Katz Eye of the K20D also fits the K5?

Slightly bigger magnification and the eyecup shields the stray
light from entering your eye better. The Pentax one seems to
vignette the screen in the top right hand corner when I use
it. Probably more secure because you actually clamp it on
with two screws.
Any magnifying eyecup is an enormous improvement for things
like manual focusing.

That's great info thanks.
I am thinking
...
DA* 50-135 (love the range of this one worried about sdm motor problems?)
...
The difference is a fair number of those who have had issues have raised it on the various fora, whereas the rest of us have said nothing.
The view of SDM is therefore very skewed.
