Lahaina noon might be a photo opportunity, but Kona winds and vog might be slightly annoying. I liked it better than summertime in coastal NC.
People have gotten by without WR in Hawai'i so it's not a necessity.
The 18-135 has a range that's a lot like the Canon S95, so one way to look at it is how often you zoom the S95 to its maximum.
I might not blow the budget here. Get the 18-55 and blow the budget on all the FA Limiteds next year.
