I have the lens and I am very happy with it. It would have been better if you showed pictures without sharpening though. 135 at 2.8 is the worst side of this lens but I think it looks pretty good at the examples you have. What you should know is that I had trubbel with backfocus and had  to set focus adjustment in the camera in order to get the lens to work perfect.  The issue with older 50-135 is SDM failiure. Having said that here in Sweden it is very seldom one se high quality pentax lens om the secion hand market. People seems to stick with them.  Good luck

Is there a newer 50-135mm SDM? I didn't know that. What 's the difference?
