The 17-55 is a great lens, and at this price, it's a steal. The IQ is superb. The only drawback is... it's really heavy. So much so, that I will leave it at home and take my pancakes if I am going to be walking around a lot. You may well find that you prefer to take your 18-135 because of the weight problem, and the 18-135 really is very good anyway.

But then, I am an old guy. Maybe the weight won't bother you nearly as much as it does me. Did I mention that it was heavy?
