And it takes something away. The 18-135 has a nice quiet in-lens motor. My ears always notice when I'm using a lens that depends on my camera's in-body motor.

This is one of the weaknesses of the 18-135mm .... sometimes it isn't quite wide enough. "Cropping out" those branches would not work well - more likely the OP would have to "clone them out". If I were the photographer and noticed the branches in time, I would have taken several steps forward, but then I would have had to go to my Sigma 10-20mm lens, and even then I might have lost the manhole cover. So many things to think of!

I forget exactly why I took this picture, but it is also a good demonstration of what the K-30 can do.
Taking a picture of her is always a good test of just about anything.
Black cat in a fairly dark room. I had planned to take this with one of my MF lenses, but the 18-135 did a better job of focusing than I could under those circumstances.
This is my buddy Leila. After her predecessor died of lymphoma, we went to the animal shelter. While my wife played with a kitten in one cage, this cat pressed her muzzle against the door of her cage, so I stuck my finger in to rub her nose; she took a step back and licked my finger. The remaining my cat was closer to my wife, so she was looking for one that would be close to me, and that gesture got Leila a place in our house ... and often I awaken to find her pressed against me.
