Reliability of SDM-ed lenses
Saw a thread in Pentax Forum discussing problem with SDM on DA* 50-135.
Anyone here has that problem as I was thinking of getting a DA*50-135 or a Tamron/Sigma 70-200? Do we need longer warranty from Emjay? Last edited by Simplytimo; 1st May 2009 at 06:13 PM. |

Re: Reliability of SDM-ed lenses
as long a built in motor with moving parts is involved...breakdown is simply a matter of time.
you paid so much for a sdm lens..nothing wrong getting longer warranty. Just make sure the additional warranty covers the problems related to such lenses.
