I think it probably was a bad copy because most of us find ours to be pretty sharp - I use my early F4.5-5.6 version indoors, pretty much wide open, when going around big NT houses and find it works well there most of the time too.
K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)

As you can see, there are as many opinions as there are lenses.
I had a Sigma 10-20, but sold it as I didn't like the results I got when shooting landscape.

Maybe the best advice for you is to use what you have now, and decide if you need an ultra wide angle such as the Sigma, or maybe need just a better quality wide angle instead of the 18-135.

I'm sure that my copy was just a poor one as I've seen many great shots taken by others with this lens and many owners do sing it's praises - I have been tempted to get another copy but it did put me off.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I did have a sigma 10-20 back in the days when I was shooting with Canon gear . I'll probably stick with what I have at present and invest in replacing a couple of grad filters that have seen better days.

Cheers
