I sent my 50-135 lens back a 3rd time for failing to auto-focus and asked the repair company to see if Pentax would replace it, and they did. I received a new lens today. That made me feel a little better about Pentax, and really good about the repair company,

I just had the autofocus on my 50-135 to fail for the THIRD time. It quit the first time barely after the year warranty. $200+ to fix it. Three months later it was out again. Another three months and I'm contacting the repair company again. :(

My 50-135 SDM failed after 13 months, just out of warranty. It was not heavily used. I paid the shop $200 to repair it. The focus motor was bad. I was not happy. An $800 lens shouldn't break in a year.

Thanks for the advice. Is this a problem that is acknowledged by Pentax, or one that users have discovered?

I do weddings on a very part-time basis. Since I got the AF-540FGZ, I have thought that the results were inconsistent. Shooting a wedding last weekend, it seemed worse. I would change the aperture or the exposure compensation trying to get a good exposure, and finally get a good picture. This would happen when the background of successive shots did not change, but the exposure would. It got a little embarrassing as I was constantly have to fool with my camera, taking 4 or 5 shots or more, where I would normally have done 2. I haven't looked yet, but I just hope the exposure on unique action shots was within a range that I can correct it.
I use it mounted off-camera, connected to a K20D. I set the camera exposure on manual.
