My 18-135 WR can never focus at infinity (typically sky) even on a bright day.

If you have this lens can you confirm if this is the same for you?

According to DPreview, the AF of the K5 is superior to 1)a newly released 24 MP SLT camera and a another DSLR with a similar MP count which was released about the same time.

Although, I find the AF good, it is nowhere near the ability of my D5000 for tracking moving objects.

Do you agree?

Can this be triggered wireless from the onboard flash?

I am just looking for simple bounce flash indoors (and maybe for macro)

Arrrggghhhhhhhhhh

Was just about decided on the Pentax 100mm and then stumbled upon the Tamron 90 mm review on the other site.

Now just confused

Seems good value. Seems to be TTL and can be used on Auto

Anyone tried them?

I am gravitating towards the 100mm WR, but also wonder how satisfactory would the Raynox be with the 18-135 WR.

I am very happy with my 18-135 WR despite my initial skepticism and some negative press.

I have not set a budget as yet, but I have funds coming from the sale another lens.

I have tried and spent a fair amount trying a cheap solution ( which turns out to be be not that cheap eventually)

So for me I more interested in a good solution to my handheld use.
