Did you even look at the diagram of what's going on inside that lens assembly every time you turn the thing on and off?

I suppose you'd know, but it isn't the optical engineer that designs
the optical mounts for his lenses...it's the mechanical engineer! It's
HE that arranges for the lenses to be precisely a red-headed flea's
fine curly hair apart, and axially aligned within a gnat's gn** and
precisely in plane (parallel to each other.)
If it tests okay on the optical bench, _both_ the optical and the
mechanical engineer have done their jobs correctly... <g>
All by themselves, neither the optical nor the mechanical engineer are
worth sour owl s[cat.]
They must work in concert to build a beautiful sonata in glass! <g>

Sorry for any confusion, but I couldn't
imagine it not working mechanically for many thousands of cycles. It's
still a "whizzy" feature and does nothing to help functional performance.
The folks responsible for the space shuttle were also supposed to be the
best in the business also. I also know that you and Pal fly into a blind
rage when anyone says anything negative about Pentax.
