I'm surprised that no one has referred to the SDM self repair procedures that are out there.

Like this - a guide for this DIY repair online

I did this a couple of years ago, after the $300.00 Pentax Japan repair failed, and have been using SDM focus ever since. I'm not alone.

On a first batch 50-135 btw.

And if it fails again, I'l probably have another go at it.

Go, Daniel Ricciardo!
