Cold, snowy weather demands I use the 18-135.

More great work from you Chris. You make this lens look like a Limited. :-)

now, it's turned up 2.5 years for me using 18-135, and alots of zooming on many weather conditions, until now i didn't see any dirt, moisture in
that mean the WR seals effective and still going strong
the SP fluorine is also a big bless for easier cleaning without too much babysiting, the front surface still new shiny like fresh virgin

the len is such great example of crop ideal travelzoom len should be

The Nikon, Canon, Sony, Tamron, Sigma ones made me disappointed, they think those features are just too luxury to add on low consumer products

i also look at Fujifilm and Olympus ones, that look similar level as Pentax, but not sure if there are fluorine

now i really hope that pentax can release a HD version, or maybe a little bit more range like 18-250, 18-300

Poles Apart. In the forecourt of Sydney Museum. Unfortunately, I did not read the plaque to find out the significance of this installation. I will go back next week.

Converging verticals deliberately not straightened.
