What's wrong with Hoya ones? Hoya owned Pentax for a time before Ricoh purchased the brand and indeed Hoya stiil own the Pentax medical equipment division. The Hoya equivalent to SMC would be HMC. eg:

Best source would probably to ask a second hand camera shop where they're likely to have a box full to sort through.

I've recently bought a new K-70 and am getting good results using my old DA 50-200 ED. I'm looking for a good sharp DA 18-55 WR to compliment it.

I'd have thought the 18-135WR you mention in your signature covers that range already?

The answers are within the images if you check the exif data. Looking at those highly reduced images further compressed by the PU algorithms (Image Magik?) it isn't immediately obvious. Show a 100% crop (pixel level) and the differences should be more obvious. Even so, the 645z image does look to have better definition as one would expect.

Blue Yonder hosting no longer exists. A Google search suggests its new location is http://hardgravity.co.uk/
Also his page here also has a different link to his site: https://www.pentaxuser.com/user/hardgravity-6629

I've set the weekly competition up, Small Furry Animals, but it seems it requires authorization for some reason before it becomes visible. Maybe because I've just set up the Monthly one too! Phew. (Not sure how the Monthly comp got duplicated.) Once this competition is accessible it will appear here: https://www.pentaxuser.com/competitions
Anyhow, use this thread to discuss matters regarding the weekly comp if required.

Update:
I've managed to edit the duplicate monthly to make it the weekly competition: Link here: https://www.pentaxuser.com/competitions/weekly--598----small-furry-animals-833
