Repair of HD Pentax-DA 16-85mm F3.5-5.6 ED DC WR lens

I had the 16-85 focus repaired twice, a year apart, due both times to a faulty GMR sensor (the lens worked but failed to obtain focus, esp on some focal lengths). The lens had to be sent to Germany as the national service was not able to fix it. It all happened, fortunately, during the warranty period and the second time it got fixed well, and since then it works without a glitch.

2021 Pentax Lens Tournament SMC Pentax-A 135mm f/2.8

I would like to put the manual "A" short telephoto lens as a nominee to the tournament: SMC Pentax-A 135mm F2.8 Reviews - A Prime Lenses - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database.

I've been shooting with it occasionally on K50 and K5ii, and just love the build, sharpness, clarity and (maybe surprisingly) the bokeh which is something rare to see these days - though some find too busy. The photo is "Busy on rich white pastures".

For me, it doesn't fit (too well) with my needs either, feeling like a very interesting experiment without a clear follow up. But apparently there are lots of people for whom it does make sense, and that's good.

It's this kind of unclear strategy that bothers me more than the long wait between models being introduced.

Absolutely (K-5ii owner here). However, such a camera would probably strongly cannibalize KP sales.
