I truly believe that my
DA* 50-135 f/2.8 and
HD Pentax-DA 20-40 f/2.8-4 Limited went for a hike together.
As they were strolling along a fragrant country meadow, the skies suddenly opened, beams of light shone down, and mystical voices began to chant. Then, without warning, clouds of tiny particles rained down, shimmering in the golden sunrays and forming magical multi-dimensional reflections.
Being the heavier lens, the 50-135 was not able to move into shelter quickly enough, and was doused fully. The smaller Limited also tried to dodge the shower, but caught some of the mist.
The 50-135 shook itself vigorously to shed the unknown powder, but to no avail. The Limited was spared getting drenched completely, but emerged feeling not quite the same.
From what I can see, my DA* 50-135 still carries that thick pixie dust to this day, while my 20-40 shows hints of that fateful stroll.
