Congratulations on the great new camera and lens! Take some time to play with those, and you will soon figure out which FoV you want next.
This is good advice. Some people are natural with wide angles, others prefer telephoto, and some like in-between. The 18-135mm covers a little bit of each, which is why its a good first choice.
The 18-135mm is very different from the DA 35mm. The DA 35mm has faster aperture (better for low light) and really great image quality. The 18-135mm doesn't have quite the same image quality (in terms of sharpness, detail, colours), but it is far from "bad", and it has a very useful zoom range plus it is WR (keep in mind the camera and lens both need to be WR if you want to use them in poor weather). The 18-135mm is a great zoom lens to start, so I wouldn't ignore it just because of some primes you might have.The prime still has its place! But again, all of this depends on your needs and wants. I you want telephoto, photographing animals and birds, then the DA 55-300mm might be a better choice!
