Since all these lenses were made before 2000, and God, (and Pentax),
only know when the rear Aspheric element that
causes the trouble was actually manufactured, (and they're not

new in a box at this point in time since the separation seems to be a
mater of time not usage. Maybe a used one if I could get
it very cheaply. You'll never know how long it will last.
