There have been some problems with manufacturing defects. I've only heard one report of problems with infinity focus, and that my have been camera related. The most common defect is an uneven focus plane. That's easily tested for and recognized. I think that Pentax has probably resolved that situation by now, and I doubt that it will continue to recur. My first sample was defective, but it was immediately replaced. The lens I have now is very good. I'm using it with the K20D nearly every way, and I'm very pleased with the results. (See the Peso titled "Pipeline" that I posted last night.) I wouldn't hesitate to buy the DA* 16-50. It's an excellent lens.
