The M 50/1.4 !
Cheap, great M handling, vintage rendition and wonderful bokeh.

Hello,
Reviving this thread as I now know more.
After 2 copies sent back under warranty, I had my third copy and... boom, happened again recently. Autofocus stuck.
Which lead to asking myself what the hell am I doing wrong : it always happened while zooming back (say from ~200mm to ~80mm) somehow quickly, and autofocusing at the same time threw AF-AEL button. Nothing dramatic on this point...
Then I saw the light (yes, it took time :/), that it might me originating from my K3II, or the from connection between the DSLR and the telezoom.
So I switched AF->M on the DSLR and manual focus was indeed working without a flaw. I forgot now if this had been the case with my former copies... but I feel really stupid not having tried that if this was the case !
Switch again M->AF and was working again.
Happened a couple of times again since, and I just switched AF->M, manually turn the focus ring, and M->AF : it solved it.
I tried to have a look on the connection since, cleaned it, nothing seems wrong with it, and after a few days of extensive use I didn't have the problem again.
So in the end, it just seems to be a gentle connecting problem / maybe the K3II AF/M switch.
I've never had this happen with any other lens than my 60-250 tho. It's also the one I use extensively...
I hope this experience can bring light to someone having this problem !

Frustrating is a better word then. And agreed about the excellence of this lens which I always considered my best lens and always been happy with until this. That thread, as reh321 said, at least indicates that it does not seem to be a common problem so that is a good point.
Yes as I said before, I needed immediate solution and that was my quick choice, that the 55-300 will become my second choice telezoom lense (with other pros than IQ). Now I'll take some time to consider the options for the next first choice FF telezoom, basically : 150-450, 70-200, 60-250, or even Canon. It was the opportunity to reconsider. But I do not exclude that lens from possibilities because I really enjoyed it.
