Originally posted by gm4life I have the 16-85mm for my K3II it is a great lens far beyond the kit lens stigma it sometimes gets. I was going to do the 18-135 kit lens but after visiting PF a month or so ago I was very easily persuaded into the 16-85!
Actually, the 18-135 is a very good lens too. Not as good as the 16-85 at the edges, but a great walk-around if you need the extra reach. PF members love it; the "
DA 18-135 WR, Show us what it can do" thread currently runs to 120 pages! The corresponding 16-85 thread has 34 pages, though it's newer.
You wouldn't go wrong with either.
