Originally posted by c.a.m Excellent images in these posts. But I may need to ask you folks to stop posting - you're really agitating my LBA! And now I feel an urge to visit Walt Disney, Iceland, Boston, Colorado, and wherever QCdude went!
Of course - the images reflect the photographers' skills. The lens seems to play its part very well, though. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Craig,
glad my images make you wanting to visit those places. This is one of good reasons why we take pictures. Thank you. This lens seem to be pretty good performer despite the fact that PZ gave it low score - I guess the guy just got a bad copy, or Ricoh have already improved it? I'm pretty selective on optics, still this glass doesn't disappoint me at all. It might sometime look a bit pricey, but being sold as a kit lens together with Pentax bodies it can be very good deal, i.e. like here:
PENTAX K-30 D-SLR W/18-135 WR (BLACK) 15635
And among the places I went to and enjoyed I would also strongly recommend to visit Cape Breton, NS, especially this path

I also dream to visit Grand Canyon AZ, Colorado, etc.
