I just received this lens on Friday, and I can't stop using it! Works well for landscapes with a polarizer, and of course has lovely bokeh at longer focal lengths.

That's a great looking little dog... and some pretty interesting images...

I don't see any difference between pictures taken with this lens and the 77 f 1.8 Limited, although my eyes are getting old and my monitor is not in the best condition...

Instant winter here. Took the pup on her first ski. She loved the deep snow!

Good experiences with the DA 18-135 WR lens so far - I have been getting what I think are some super sharp photos!

Had an opportunity to snap a land mark around here. It is behind a gated entry into a municipal waste treatment site so no one ever gets this Pov. 18-135 gave me all the width, and reach required for inspecting the tank.

My daughter works over at Defasco, not far from there.

My wife does as well. Lots of changes since Arcelor-Mittal took over.

Husky Huddle November 2014 by TER-OR on Flickr.

A snowy, overcast day. Most images are cropped, and most have exposure bumped a bit to compensate for the darkish conditions. The 18-135 is a nice lens for these events, rarely do you need much more than 135, and probably I should shoot more images fully zoomed. As usual, just wait, they'll be running your way soon enough.

The dogs are enjoying this early cold snap.

I have learned that no matter what lenses I take with me, this lens is used 95% of the time, I must have gotten a good copy, I have several other lenses and they all have their place in my grand scheme of things but this one takes the cake.....every time

I love the versitility of this lens. It stays on my K-50 90% of the time.

That's one of those pictures I always wanted to take... but there are no mountains around here.
