I have a number of Limited primes...21, 40, 70 and although I like them , I find myself using my 18-135 as my 'urban' walk around lens about 90 % of the time.
My 18-135 wins out because it's zoom is versatile. I always seem to be able to find the right focal length in an urban setting with this lens. It's sharp and also weather resistant which works well for me, when I have it attached to either my weather resistant K10D or K5 bodies. The only downside to my 18-135 is that I get the dreaded
lens creep. Not a big deal to me, though.
For a rural walk around lens, I find the 55-300 is the best. More reach.
I maybe a tad unusual, I mostly carry two cameras around at any one time. So with the other body, I may have a prime, a fisheye (10-17), a 50 macro or a super wide angle like my 12-24.
But if I'm only carrying one body...in an urban setting...it's the 18-135...rural...55-300.
