:lol: Very understandable. If I could only have ONE of these lenses, the versatility of the 18-135 would probably sway me towards it. I have taken photographs with the 16-50 that I would not have been able to get with the 18-135, but not that many. If low light shooting is something you want to do without flash, the 16-50 will work beautifully. If you don't need the f2.8, stick with the 18-135. ;)
The IQ of the 16-50 is better IMO, but my 18-135 is very good too.

Hi Wilfried, I have both of these lenses which I use on my K-3, and find them both excellent. Optically, the DA* 16-50 is superior, but the then I find the 18-135 more versatile. Indoors with low light, the 16-50 excels. I usually use the 18-135 when I go bushwalking ( and don't want to change lenses ) as the zoom range, and its close focusing make it great for both landscapes and close wildlife images and general " nature " shots. I have both, but would not give up either one. I hope this information is of help to you. Good luck. :)
