Originally posted by SpartanD63 Yep, the DA* 50-135 is my favorite of my zooms. I love the way it handles, it's IQ, and the WR.
Sadly, I have to save up a bit to repair mine (I dropped it)
Mine fell out of my bag and broke on my wedding day two years ago when my wife wanted to take my camera out to look at the photos our friends snapped during the ceremony. We had a civil union to get my paperwork started so it wasn't supposed to be a "big day." But a smashed up 50-135 made it quite memorable
Sent the lens off to Germany after the home insurance company said they would cover a full repair. Works wonderfully after the repair, but I am not too happy with the job once I took a closer look: one of the inner elements looks to be scratched and there is dust inside the lens (which was perfectly clean before it was repaired).
Still, my favorite lens. (Admittedly I have tried few though).
