Ask a question - get fifteen different answers and end up making your own mind up.
Only you know if you can afford/want to spend the money on a different lens, and how much weight you are willing to lug, or are allowed by the airline to lug.

I would take the 18-55 and 70-300. Leave the rest behind.
Save your money and upgrade your lenses when you upgrade your body.

That's odd, I was in London the other day when an American couple asked me to take their photo. I was just about to do it when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw an angry Scot trudging off muttering to himself.

You recognised Ken's Tam O'Shanter of course!

True - but it does say it is a DA*, not just a DA.
Pity they didn't decide to make it a 135-400 WR, to match the 18-135WR .
I know I know some people are never satisfied .

If it really is a *lens it will presumably mean the end of the 60-250*?
The 12-35mm sounds more interesting tbh.

Why is F4 a problem? With the K5 it is absolutely not a problem. I have both the 17-70 and the wonderful 60-250* and do not find F4 a problem with either.
Rumour has it, though it has never been confirmed, that the 17-70 has quite a degree of weatherproofing, hence it's price.
The 18-135 is an F5.6 at 135 mm, and F3.5 at 18mm, so that surely must discount it regardless of IQ, given that A constant F4 is not enough for you.

Hello Kat! Welcome to the forum.
Santa was kind to you!
There are a few K-X users here so if you have any queries about it, or anything else don't be afraid to ask.
Whereabouts in the world are you? Maybe you could add your location - even if it is only the country - to your profile.
