One thing i noticed is that the zoom is the wrong way round or maybe the right way depending on your perspective the zoom is fully extended at the 16 end rather than the usual 45 end(well usual to me).
Always seemed a bit strange to me.

It still could be the K10D (or firmware 1.3) way of dealing with SDM, tried same test with 55-300 and it doesn't show that issue.

I put in a claim to Royal Mail after 4 weeks and told the winner I had done so and they would probably be in touch and like magic the phone arrived the next day. I phoned Royal mail to tell them it had arrived ok and they still sent me a cheque 2 months later to cover the £200 "loss".

And bonus, same stuff with DA 55-300 for comparison.
Besides, my 55-300mm sits nicely in my bag along with the 12-24mm, DA* 16-50mm and Tamron macro.

If we were the sellers we wouldn't want some of the margins that we would have to sell at.
Tesco make less than pennies on 99% of their items but make huge profits every year. The likes of SRS may not have such a turnover but their margin is no doubt fairly good otherwise they wouldn't still be here.
They make up for that with good customer service (even if their web guru is a total ****** for listing the Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro for Pentax mount when it didn't exist:lol.
Its all relative.

My son has a Canon 70-200L IS f2.8 lens and it is better at 200mm & f2.8 than these images. OK it's a more expensive lens, but the time we have waited for the DA* 60-250, you'd have thought Pentax would have got it right by now.
These were handheld @ 200mm f2.8 wide open.
