Sadly I haven't shoot film since I bought my k100d Super!

I can agree with that. My DA 70 Is slightly nicer than my dad's 17-70, and my DA 15 Is a bit sides and nicer in many ways on the wide end but even shooting into a moonlit scene with the moon in frame the 17-70 really holds up nicely at the wide end.
The reason I would prefer the 18-135 is strictly for versatility. However now that I have a k3 cropping might make the 17-70 more viable as the all around lens. But 135 gives such nice pseudo macro and it lets me shoot far more distant objects.
Sigh. Wanted 1-1000mm f/2 weighing 100g waterproof and perfect optics. Must cost $50 or less.

Where can you buy this camera for this price? I can't find it for anything like that low. That would make for a nice body for me to take to Europe in the spring. Is there a wide to normal combo that's that good and cheap?

My experience with the DA 17-70 vs DA 18-135 would lead me to pick the DA 18-135 unless I needed the constant f4 and the extra 1mm width but it is a nice lens. I prefer a soft 135 over no 135.

I love the DA 17-70, but it is not WR. I would suggest the DA 18-135 myself. The lens is reasonably light and it is quite sharp at modest focal lengths and if you need crazy resolution landscapes use stitching at 24-35mm. Even at 135 the images are much better than the technical data suggests. Look at the "show us" threads for samples from all of lenses you are considering. At every focal length the 18-135 beats the 18-55 bear that in mind.
