If you're after SDM failure data, your poll is not properly worded- which is why I haven't voted. For example, I had an early production run DA*16-50, which was decentered. It was replaced under warranty, but it was NOT an SDM problem.

What I would really like to see is a poll on ownership length of those that have not had issues.

Well, the first lenses with SDM came out in 2007, so a maximum of four years is what I am thinking.
