I think giofi is talking about the thread title which is a bit difficult when we can't alter it.

The reason items are left is to provide a track record and feedback for buyers and sellers. We know who has sold what, how ell it went and whether or not it reappears again for sale.
All sellers have to do is post a sold notice and buyers could usefully make sure they post some feedback.
Items no longer available in Leads to Deals section are removed, although there were a few people who were originally quite outraged by this!

Is there a way to know from the serial number if I will develop stains?

Well, not in my view, it stops half way, so you can't really compare the 2 lenses IMO
The DA18-135 is f/3,5 at 18mm but is already f/4 at 24mm and f/4.5 at 50mm so the speed difference isn't really there and i would rather have a fixed aperture be cause it's easier to control manually.
I meant it stops half way in terms of focal length, it's missing 70-135, so IMO it is not an option if you are looking for a travel lens.

I've the DA*16-50 and DA*50-135 so that range is covered but the DA18-135 looks like a fun traveling lens but the price is too high i think and the cheaper DA17-70 gives you better IQ and still have a very useful range.
Isn't that an option?

Hi Folks
I have returned the Tamron 18-200mm to the supplier with a view to ordering the Pentax or Tamron 18-250mm but unfortunately neither appear on their website. They do stock however the Sigma 18-250 with built in optical stabalisation which appears to fill the bill. What do you guys think?
Cheers
Ron
