Hi,my first post here. I must first of all thank you all forum members, who have shared so much valuable information in this forum, reviews and more.
Now on topic, in 2010 I purchased my first SDM lens, the 60-250 and its a lovely lens, but unfortunately the lens SDM stopped working today. The lens hasn't been used for about 6 months and that could be one of the reasons for SDM failure. After turning the screwdriver shaft it slowly woke up, but with higher than usual noise and also much slower focus speed. I'm quite disappointed to say the least, and it's a lens I thought was "safe" to buy. Well, well it could be worse, repair is $200 here in Sweden. Pentax/Ricoh Sweden has extended warranty for SDM lenses (3 years), but I missed that with 1 year.
