One thing I noticed, however: sometimes, if I focus on a subject close to infinity (so to speak), and then to infinity, I fail to get AF confirmation (red focus indicator blinking and beeping). If I then focus close, then again to infinity, no problem at all, it focuses correctly and I get the confirmation all right.
I do not have on the other hand any issue with such "micro-adjustments" at close focusing distances.
So it doesn't seem to be an infinity focus problem (it is capable of it), nor, I would think, and SDM one - I never got the lens stuck or anything.
I've asked about it on a local forum, a few people who own this lens have reported noticing the same - and some have the same "issue" on a Sigma 120-400 HSM lens.
If some DA* 16-50 owners read this thread, I'd be happy to hear if they've experienced the same.

Can offer an extra original Pentax battery and another good quality third-party one, to sweeten the deal.

I've decided that I favor the use of my primes over zooms in the "normal" range, so here I'm offering my DA* 16-50.
Cosmetically it has a couple of flaws: there is a little paint loss around the distance window, and some usage marks on the mount.
On the other hand, the glass is perfect and I've had no problems with the SDM. Focusing is precise on my K-7.
Comes with both original caps and hood (which is missing the small window piece)
Price: 400£ shipped signed for with insurance to anywhere in Europe

I'm offering this K20D in excellent condition. I bought it from the original owner as a spare body to my K-7.
It has been very well cared for, there's absolutely no mark whatsoever on the body, the rear LCD screen has only a few very tiny hairline scratches. It comes boxed complete with everything that was originally in the box (including original purchase receipt) - most of the accessories are still wrapped in plastic - except for the cap that protects the synch cable plug (see 3rd pic).
I can have the sensor cleaned before shipping if the buyer so wishes.
Price: 320£ shipped with insurance and signed for anywhere in Europe (paypal fees excluded).

This lens has quite a few very tiny nicks on the barrel (see pictures) - nothing serious though - but the optics are flawless.
Focusing is smooth and the aperture ring clicks positively.
Comes with both original front and rear caps.
Price: 400£ or nearest offer.
Ships from Paris, France.
