I'm looking at used, there aren't many (if any ) 18-135mm avalible, and the ones that come up go in a second. I can get a used 16-50 for about $450. I also like the idea of having a faster lens as I don't have one at the moment. I know this may not be the sharpest wide open, but I'm not going to be doing landscapes wide open, generally things where sharpness isn't as bigger issue to me. Also I just like the idea of a DA* lens, what can I say I lust after the gold ring.
Also I meant to say Star shot, where a faster lens is an advantage.
