WTB Pentax WR 18-135mm
as I'm looking to pay £140 for one. It could be a no go price wise but you never know who's looking to sell quickly.
Ouch............. but Karma has a way to address Capitalist Monsters!!
Similar story for me, just looking for a "stop gap lens" one day as I was going on an extended business trip to Asia; then along came this little gem and gradually it became attached to me; and the 16-50 & 50-135 DA* zooms, as good as they are, are now little used since the 18-135 quietly shunted them into a dark cupboard, only to be brought out for very particular shooting occasions.
Suddenly my 16-50 and 50-135 felt big, bulky and not so uniquely impressive as regards IQ, the dimunitive DA 18-135 is capable of much more than convenience and "pocketability " as you will discover, and you never have to "wake it up" like is sometimes necessary to with the DA*s either.
Looking at your super portfolio, Cardiff Gareth, I think you mighy fall into the danger of becoming besotted by this now indispensable, little companion; there's more chance of me leaving the house without my shoes than leaving this behind.
I recently bought a SH K3,to permanently attach it to and they are housed in a neoprene stretch case, always at hand.; so good luck with the "stop gap plan".

I see there are a few for sale on here at the mo but I don't want to reply to all the posts as I'm looking to pay £140 for one. It could be a no go price wise but you never know who's looking to sell quickly.
I'm only looking to buy one as a stop gap whilst my 16-50mm is away with the repairer.
Cheers
