The tamron 28mm and Pentax 70-200mm are gone.

These items will probably be going on ebay, as there has been no interest in trade.

I have the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5, love the macro and like the aperture, but don't particularly like the bokeh or the fact that it is not weather sealed. The last one has been bugging more lately.
The 18-135mm seems like the way to go for my needs, but this might even be better. More tele and wide than the Sigma and with WR.
Unfortunately its new, so too expensive.

Really love 1, 2 and 5. Great work on contrast and light.

Me too, its one of the good things with this focal length.

Went to shoot some trail runners at an event and ended up disregarding the Pentax 18-55mm WR and the Sigma 17-70mm for this lens.
I was just having to much fun, so stuck to 135mm. Its limiting but what it does, it does well.

With a bit of luck and slow moving on their part I managed to grab some decent shots.

I'm sure the FA* material will hold up pretty well. But what other lenses from the past will hold its own against modern lenses, now that edges will be exposed.

I've no intention of getting a FF body, and will only change my K10D because ISO performance isn't that great.

Pitty about the glass getting more expensive, as it will I'm sure.

Also considering the Tamron 60-300mm A2
