Not fit for what purpose? If you mean light gathering purposes, then surely things have moved on a lot since we were stuck having already loaded ASA 100 .....
I would tend to agree with this, and my opinion is that unless you need a lens especially for lots of low light work you should be fine with Pentax 18-135 or 16-85, the 16-85 is sharper but heavier and larger, the 18-135 is still very good and light and compact!

I agree with Bill.

I'd happily stretch the ISO to 800. Both the older ' 'Flagship' models, whilst being, slower and simpler with autofocus and having poorer high ISO performance, do have generally better handling and controls than later entry level ones, plus more options and accessory choices.

One photographer might benefit more from these things and make good use of them, and that may well make up for the slower performance. Another photographer may prefer the faster performance and automation from later, simpler models. Depending on how you use the machine can very well balance out these factors.
We have a K30 and K5mk11 and we are quite happy to use up to ISO 3200 on both of them - these cameras are both now starting to get a bit long in the tooth but that 16mp sensor is excellent.
I don't use either of the cameras differently in use too - even entry level Pentax cameras have a great range of controls.

The DA18-135 is very useful and gives great results, it's compact, light, WR and you can normally pick a 2nd hand one up cheap enough!

Speaking of which, it never occurred to me that the lack of a physical SR switch could have been intentionally something to do with the setting of this function in the user modes.
I have set user modes up but never use them because I forget the parameters I've used!
