Had I not gone in another direction I could have been really tempted by this. Superb lens, condition is obviously a bit rough but for the price it's a steal.

Yet strangely Pentax always maintained there was no problems with the SDM motor in those lenses .

I have always thought the 50-135mm is one of the best performing lenses ever made by Pentax.

So if ever there was a reason to buy a K1 there it is ... To use as a wake up tool for a lens you will never use it with.

It's not terminal as both my 50-135mm and 16-50mm have done the same thing for years.

I have found (on the K-1 at least) that they wake up a lot quicker if you use liveview first. Alternative is to change them over to screw drive with a hack available on Pentaxforums.

SRS have done the the same thing a few times after the initial excitement of release has settled down a bit.

The K-3 III would have to come down lower than £1500 for me to be interested though.

Onr here for £539 ... never purchased from them before though.

Was it last year or the one before Amazon had them new for less?

Yup that's fine as the Pentax tc is only APS-C.

I was going to say I have a 1.5x Kenko converter if it's for a K-1.
