Update on this: Turns out Fumfie didn't have any 50-150s in stock after all . They punked me sort of. Charged my credit card almost immediately, had me call them to sell me on accessories (the customer rep said they had about 50 of these in stock, BTW) and then never gave me a shipping notice for about two weeks.
Finally called them up to check on my order. Turns out they didn't have any of these in stock. Then the guy tried to upsell me on the 70-200. I said no thanks, as I could buy from somewhere else for the same price that would also be an authorized dealer (because Fumfie isn't). Just had them cancel my order. Appears now that they removed the 50-150 page from their site.
My solution: Found a Tokina 50-135 on Craigslist for my Canon 7D for basically half the price of the used DA* 50-135 I originally got. Sharp lens. In fact I was surprised to find that it has the same glass/optics as the Pentax DA*, but it doesn't have SDM (thus no SDM issues) and it's AF is faster/better in general. Only quibbles are it has an irremovable tripod caller and doesn't have IS. I'm extremely happy with this but I'll patiently be on the lookout for a used 50-150 (for Pentax). if I ever get ahold of one, I'll compare.

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I was able to find a Sigma 50-150 II online at Fumfie. Looks like they are the last ones to carry this. I'm just hoping it delivers something close to the IQ of the Pentax with better AF reliability.

Bought a used copy from BH. Called them up today and they accepted a return (was pretty much at the end of the 30 day policy).
Couple weeks back noticed that the AF simply didn't turn on when I turned my K5 on. Neeedd a few minutes to "warm up". At first I thought it was because of a low battery, then I noticed this happening more and more. Then I read up that this was a problem on a lot of SDM AFs. I had to part ways with this thing, as much as I liked the image quality. Couldn't take the chance that the AF would just die completely one day.
So what next? Is this a problem that has been dealt with by Pentax and does buying a new/newer copy reduce the risk of the same problem? I probably can't run the risk of buying another used one, as I'm scared this problem might show up after the limited return/warranty policies run out on used items. Is the Sigma 50-150 a viable alternative or does it have issues of its own? Would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

LOL. I'm an idiot and just figured it out about 30 seconds before reading your post. I had already scored a 28-90mm Series 1 that didn't have this and so I never even thought to look. Thanks and I look forward to using this.
Great forum BTW. Very friendly environment.

Hi guys, newbie with a dumb question. I'm a new K5 owner. I was fortunate enough (well, at least I think I was) to get ahold of a Series 1 70-210 f2.8-4 for a pretty good price. It's in great shape.
This one is a PK-A/R version with the rubber sleeve. Question: Is this lens supposed to be "stuck" in the auto aperture "A" mode permanently? The aperture ring does not budge. The auto mode seems to work, as the K5 seems to be able to adjust aperture.
But there are clear markings for the various aperture levels next to "A", but the aperture ring simply does not turn. Is this supposed to be how this lens works? Just curious. Thanks.
