The rest flows from there.
Although I have that range covered with my 55-300, 50-135 would be faster and better image quality. Sometimes, I do portraits, weddings, or other events, and that's when I usually wish I had this lens. It would be great for nature too. My only dedicated macro is a sears 28mm. I enjoy that lens, but would love the longer focal length and 1:1 magnification. So, both lenses are on the wish list.
I had considered the 18-135 for vacations and casual outings, but I will wait and decide later if I want to do that.
Current lenses:
Tamron 17-50
DA 55-300
Sears A 28 macro
Da 35 2.4
Da 50 1.8
Takumar 135 2.5
*Not counting the lenses (same ranges) I gave my husband with the K-x. lol

I've thought about it, but I just got the K5iis last year. I was thinking I would give it a couple of years and see what comes out.
