1,000 Signatures of the Pentax SDM Petition Online!

As I wrote before, if that Pentax SDM online petition reached 1,000 signatures, I would follow to sign.

9 months have elapsed. So, up till now, there are 1001 signatures, including mine.

I do still encourage you, as a Pentaxian, to participate in this Petition, despite that Pentax (actually Hoya) have not yet responded to our Petition. I bet they will never respond, nor to be responsible, till the end of the World, though!

The new DC technology maybe a silent response to the infamous SDM issue, but how about those Pentax users who have already bought the SDM and very "unfortunately" have had their lens(es) dead for once or more? :-o

Even Hoya do have the "guts" to completely ignore all those affected Pentax users and victims, do they really know that sales are hurt just because of such a conjecture of theirs? The whole case and "handling" (nil actually!) is just silly and plain stupid after all! >:-|

If proof is in numbers, SDM failure Petition seems a pathetic lie. Cases recorded by Russell document 117 (only!!!!) failed SDM lenses. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=...
Out of how many 10's of 1000's lenses? No wonder if Pentax thinks this petition is a joke... Got just one SDM,(50-135) what works like a champ!

Please don't call others liars when you just haven't yet encountered any problem with your gear, which is just illogical afterall. And, do note that DPR fault reports are not inclusive of all the fault cases.

Furthermore, that SDM Petition is simply a Petition, in which we ask for a firmware option, that is useful and helpful to all, including Hoya and Pentax themselves, but possibly it will never get any response. Really Sad..

No one is calling anybody anything. That's why I say "IF ...." Therefore, for some of us, proof of collected info may or may not be relevant. If mind is set, there is no cure to it.. Glad my SDM is working. Hope yours is now as well. What lens with SDM failed you? That is sad...
