thanks for all the info. I was able to pick up an almost "new" k-30 with a 18-135 lens at a really good price. Now I have to learn how to use it!. I was very impressed though. I went out on the deck the night I got it and shot some flowers in almost no light at all and they really came out quit nice. I also shot some pics the next morning all the way out to 135 and I think the lens will work out fine.

I was hoping to get away as inexpensively as possible, but then I wouldn't want to spend money on even an inexpensive lens I wouldn't use later. Sounds like the 18-135 is the way to go.
Looking forward to purchasing the camera and lens.

Thanks for the warning. Good advice. I would pad it well, but I just got the tank bag and found out it gets awful hot in there. I might need to figure out some other way to carry it but have it hand for a fast shot.

thanks, it sounds like for what I plan on doing the 18-135 makes the most sense. I'm trying to keep the weight down, and carrying two lens in my tank bag on the motorcycle, trying to switch a lens while a bear is scampering away (hopefully not towards me) doesn't sound like as much fun.

I'm trying to decide if the 18-135 is the right lens. The 18-55 is much less expensive. From a wide angle perspective are they both the same?
Oh, I have had a decent camera since got a Nikon for graduation............1980!!!!! Time to jump back in!

I'm struggling with the same dilemma. The k-30 with the 18-55 is so much less expensive then with the 18-135. I'm hoping to take a motorcycle trip to Alaska this summer and the WR features is what has sold me even though I haven't made a purchase yet. I envision stopping the bike pulling the camera out and shooting vistas and wildlife as quickly as possible without switching lens. I'm just not sure the 135 will be long enough.
