Just after reading this thread I encountered Augustine's Laws "put forth by Norman
Ralph Augustine, an American aerospace businessman who served as Under Secretary of the
Army from 1975 to 1977."
Law #18 may be applicable here:
Law Number XVIII: It is very expensive to achieve high unreliability. It is not
uncommon to increase the cost of an item by a factor of ten for each factor of
ten degradation accomplished.

Yeah, I’m sure they’ll fix it, too.
Meanwhile I have out-of-town leisure time in late Oct and early Nov, and may
not have a working, suitable zoom.
Argh.
Should have bought the Sigma. The Pentax seemed the better lens, though, and I
thought =surely= they’d have fixed the SDM in 9 years!

That's an older design. I assume they're locked into the original SDM Motor,
but I'm sure they'll fix it.

The SDM motor is failing on my 4-month old DA 17-70 lens.
One would think that in NINE years of production Pentax would have
corrected the well-known SDM motor problem.
Oy.

P.S. How long is Precision taking to fix things these days?
