Your welcome. Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for the info.

Thinking of investing in one of these and wondered if anyone knows if it covers full frame or just cropped sensor.

Payment received with thanks.

Going back to the original question, I have found that the 18-135 is very quick to focus and I like it! I have not tried using it for baby portraits but I'm sure it would do the job fine. Of course it is also a WR lens with water resistant build and super protect coating on the front element. That may be useful in the environment you mention!

I also find the DA40 limited a very fast focusing lens, as already mentioned. It also has an excellent finger/puke guard(lens hood), that may help the image quality with the very young!

Payment received, will be in the post ASAP.

A few pictures of the lens, as requested.

The Spotmatic F has advantages, in that it is one of the 'newer' Spotmatics and it has open aperture metering, when used with the SMC Takumars. All mechanical as well, apart from the meter.
