Thanks for the post, and it's a nice series.

Your shutter speed choices are a bit hard to understand. I doubt anyone at the ice rink needed 1/2000, so you were leaving a lot of light on the table. On the other hand, 1/200 is slow for a bike rider, which probably kept you from discerning how well the AF-C was nailing focus on the eyes.

I personally would like to have an updated version this lens, and I agree with your thoughts.

Agreed about shutter choices, however

Agreed on  refurbished 50-135, surely one of Pentax great lenses.

It renders so beautifully and detail is staggeringly good. I used it at a number of weddings.

Upgrade the motor and they will most likely tweak the optics and coatings, but it sure produces great images.

Sometimes I thought the shots were soft on back of camera only to find sooo much detail.
