Thanks John. It does look like a great travel lens.

Why update your tag/signature? Who gives a damn what equipment you have - the proof is in the picture.

It means nothing, proves nothing but says everything.


Bad week end?

Welcome to the forum anyway...

It's honing down to two K-5s with 18-135mm lenses and spare Pentax batteries. Chris, expect my call quite soon!
John, why the 18-135 with the K-5? I am asking as I have been considering the 18-135 as well, so I would be interested in your thoughts.

I had a chance to try a 18-135 with a K-5 today, and I must say it feels right + fast and very silent....

Congratulations!

I guess you should update your signature....

The limited has a different body ?
I thought it was just a colour change .

The K-5 limited has a different (deeper) hand grip.

I got mine, and I am very happy so far. I have not done any extensive testing (and probably will not do), but I took some indoors sport pictures this week end. Last time I did that I had my K20D with me an there is a great improvement. Not only the high ISO capability is great (this has been extensively discussed in many posts), but automatic WB seems to be spot on in all pictures I have taken so far. I could not say the same of my K20D.

Great camera and a pleasure to use!

No, but they did close 6 factories in Japan.

I do not really see the "bling factor", to me it is just how classic Pentax cameras look like and I just like it. I am happy that Pentax gives this option that others do not give, so you can choose the colour combination you like most.

But it certainly does not look cheap, I do not know why you would say that
