Hi,
I want to thak to all forum members who contributed to this thread.
I have a SDM 50-135 that started to fail maybe two years ago. As many of you have described, my problem is that, when I turn my camera on, the lens doesn't work, so I try focus several times, move the focus ring... and then it just awakes. Sometimes I turn on my camera and the lens just works without needed to focus and wait several minutes (as today, for example).
But, as I have a K5, I tried to hack the firmware just to find a permanent solution. It was a success, it took me maybe 15 mins, and I converted my lens to screwdrive.
Ye,s it focuses faster but It's too loud for me. As I use in places where I need silence, it's not usable for me in this mode, so I took back the changes again.
Anyway, good to know how to convert this great lens.
Regards.
