I bought the DA18-135 last year but ....

... I'm still using my Sigma 17-70 as my walk around lens on my K20D or on my K-5. That speaks volumes for my opinion of the 18-135. It was very disappointing. Pentax should have created a great lens in that focal length (18-135 or 17-125) and put a $1200 or so price tag on it. Instead they produced a mediocre piece of glass that's a waste of money (if you care much about image quality and resolution).
