Comments about Pentax Pentax SMCP-DA* 50-135mm f/2.8 ED (IF) SDM Auto Focus Telephoto Zoom Lens:
Without any doubt, this is the best lens for Pentax DSLR. Sharp through all range, superb bokeh & 3D effect, lightweight, excellent build quality with weather resistant. All in all, perfect lens for most occasions.

Comments about Pentax Pentax SMCP-DA* 50-135mm f/2.8 ED (IF) SDM Auto Focus Telephoto Zoom Lens:
I am extremely pleased with the Pentax SMCP-DA* 50-135mm f/2.8 ED. It is a great lens. I love the Bokeh. Image quality is superb. I like the fact it is water sealed, I use it with a K20D and K5 both of which are water sealed. I do a lot of photography on whitewater rivers while rafting and this is a necessary feature also living in Western Oregon I spend a lot of time in the rain. The aspect of the lens I am most happy with is the auto focus. My non star lenses have great image quality but the auto focus can be a bit tricky and I spend a lot of time in manual focus especially when shooting through trees which happens a lot. This lens handles it very well and will focus on a subject on the far side of thick trees which the other lenses would not do so I never really have to take it out of auto focus mode. I would reccomend this lens to anyone who wants a professional quality lens.
Auto focus shot through trees.

Comments about Pentax Pentax SMCP-DA* 50-135mm f/2.8 ED (IF) SDM Auto Focus Telephoto Zoom Lens:
I bought this lens for the weather sealing. Since I'm a swimsuit photographer, it comes in handy in those humid locations in Mexico. Lens is super sharp, but doesn't focus as quickly as the screw drive lenses. But it's fast enough when photographing the girls. I use this lens more than any other lens in my collection.

Comments about Pentax Pentax SMCP-DA* 50-135mm f/2.8 ED (IF) SDM Auto Focus Telephoto Zoom Lens:
This is a great lens to use on the K10D. It may never come off your camera. Nice and pretty compact. Has a nice weight to it but it's not noticably heavy. Really, really good piece of equipment. Highly recommended. Once you go to SDM, it's hard to look back... and listen back to the screw drive. :0

Comments about Pentax Pentax SMCP-DA* 50-135mm f/2.8 ED (IF) SDM Auto Focus Telephoto Zoom Lens:
If the AF-Motor would be a bit faster it would be a perfect lens.
The Performance is very good, even with a wide open aperture.
