This morning I shipped to Pentax for repair all gear recently purchased: K20D: The sensor developed a cluster of pixels in white, along with a line bisecting this cluster and going across the entire image. This has ruined many of the photos that I took recently in Italy.
DA* 50-135: One day in Italy it worked fine. The next day it wouldn't focus, either automatically or manually. (Yes, I cleaned the contacts, etc.) Shaft-drive seems still to work. This lens had taken fewer than 150 images. DA* 16-50: It has severe edge weakness at longer focal lengths. I suspect that this can't be corrected and that I will have to buy another one. The lenses are out of warranty. I know that other brands also have problems with defects. But is it possible for a customer of those brands to have defects in all recent purchases?
