Good idea but much comes down to cost - I need the best bang for the buck that I can get, and unfortunately this leads to compromise - like many things in life!

Thanks ChristianRock - very sensible advice. My concern though is that none of them are WR and I live on a wet island. No one moves to the UK for the weather. With the 18-135 I will at least have a weather resistant lens to go with the WR body of the K5iis. It's a practical move I think. And I have to be practical - having young kids means taking the opportunity as it arises! I won't have much chance to change lenses with 3 small ones and the dog.
(Much as I'd like to..!)

I do like the (near silent) sound of the motor. And as you say, it's a great walk round lens. Thanks.

I've just had a quick look and I think there are some amazing shots there- Norm's flowers were particularly sharp. Looks like the 18-135 is going to the one that'll arrive at my door in the next few days.

And I am much in your debt for the life planning! Seriously though, I appreciate you taking the time to give me the detail. I think you're onto something with the 18-135...

Picked up my new K5iis the other day, with a 35mm DA lens. Got the last one from Jessops for £345... not bad for a camera that retailed at over £1000 a couple of years ago!
Anyway, zoom lenses...
I'm thinking of a 55-300mm rather than the 18-135mm because that's a duplication of the 35mm focal length.
Am I correct in this assumption?
Or am I missing a trick?
I will, when I can afford to, get a quality wide prime. I've a 28mm Pentax-A I can use, as well as a 50mm Pentax-M prime.
Thoughts anyone? Thanks in anticipation!:confused:
