There are many reviews for this lens in this forum. I have just used this lens for three days.
My points:
1. Best walk around lens, I still haven't utilized the WR option, though I used it without fear during misty day on hill station. All other super-zooms Tamron, Sigma 18-200, 18-250, you can not take it out during rainy season. Also you may miss 135-250 range!
2. If you compare with Tamron superzooms 18-200, it is sharp. But the images from 18-135 are not sharp at the corners. So you tend to keep the subject at the center.
3. The lens produces sharp images at f8, but you must know in which condition you really want to use it.
4. Autofocus is not a big trouble.
5. Manual Focusing is bit difficult.
I suggest this as a beginner lens instead of 18-55 WR.
Here are my photos taken two days before.
