Replacing the DA 16-45 with the DA 18-135, Good idea?

**TopherTheME** · 10-31-2013, 02:59 PM

I took advantage of the deal going on at Adorama (the one that Amazon doesn't include the hood and is grey market) and ordered a brand new DA 18-135mm. Should be here in a week.

Ironically enough the Adorama deal ends today, which is my birthday, and its also pouring rain right now. Its almost like its fate or something.

I say get the 18-135mm and dont look back. With your DA 15mm in my opinion it's a no brainer. Using the DxO lens correction, the DA 18-135mm cleans up very nicely
