Bad news - I hope it's not too pricey. I always keep mine in the boot, although with a short prime or small zoom it will just fit into the centre console.

I've just shot a few at my stepson's wedding and used the 16-50 throughout. I had a longer lens with me, but in the end the wide angle was much more useful than a bit of extra reach. That could be a result of the number of people and the venue, but for me the 16-50 was ideal. It was the first time I have ever shot at a wedding, other than 'snaps', but I was asked to give another view to those of the professional (who was excellent!)

Here's a couple of my results.

The 18-135 is a fine walkabout lens and the fact that it is WR is a genuine benefit. Overall IQ is pretty good and it's beautifully put together. It focuses fast and accurately on my K-5iiS.

I can't comment on either the Sigma or Tamron as I haven't used them, but as you have the longer end covered by the 55-300, I don't think that you would go badly wrong with the 18-135.

# 1 for me.

Good luck and enjoy the experience.

Congratulations

Thanks all for your comments and suggestions - rather more helpful than the judge!!!

During my club's final digital competition of the season the judge slated this imaging and said that it fell well short of an acceptable standard for the middle group of the three classes we have - he didn't say why other than he didn't like the dark foliage on the right. I know that it's not exactly the best image ever produced, but I don't get why it falls so far short of 'acceptable' - can anyone explain please, as that's the only way I can improve.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
