I stand corrected, I meant the 18-55WR.
Thanks,

I was a bit sloppy today and smashed the distance scale lens on my relativly new DA* 16-50, It happened while the camera was switched off the impact was (direct hit by belt buckle) on the middle part of the scale lens and it just shattered it.
I refrained from using the camera and the lens for fear of contaminating the inner parts ( i assumed the scale lens is the sealed part and anything moving inside is vaulrnible to dust and moist).
However, I took two test shots later on and the operation of the lens/SDM is intact, now, is this distance scale lens replaceable? I presume the whole lens is air-tight and by smashing the scale lens it would compromise the function of the weather sealing, is ths true?
What are my options here? Or shall I just use silicone and cover the whole scale since I never used it?
My last resort would be ebaying the lens and get the 18-55WR.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated,

Hi everyone,
Purchased this lens "brand new" a few months ago but just shot some pix last month and noticed a weird reflection to the left of the subject especially under bright light, I have other Pentax and Cosina lenses too but this is the only one with this abnormal result.
Is it a defective unit?
