Just purchased an 18-135

Just got one of these toys on an European Amazon Warehouse deals, and apart from a slighly beaten box, I'm yet to find out anything wrong with it, looks like new and at 325,00€ shipped it was hard to resist.
So far it's been a few days I've been testing it and playing with it,but I just don't understand why it feels much more enjoyable than my Tammy 18-250 I've been using for the last 6 years as walkaround and travel lens.
The decision was made because I live in a very damp weather place, often shootng in rain, snow, fog,mist or on beaches so... should give me more peace of mind, I've shot with the tammy in every possible condition from wind throwing sand at me, to rain and snow and inside a swimming pool during a competition.
It never let me down but you never really now what (or if) you've sucked inside the thing...

Hi, has anyone tried this lens with an Infrared filter (Hoya 62mm Infrared R72 Filter) Thinking of buying.

Congrats of your new lens!
I also bought the 18-135 from an Amazon warehouse deal, paid $257 USD, and it too was just like new.
It pretty much stays on my K-S2 and is my most used lens.
