I always think of the Photozone negative review when I use the 18-135,

Tkae that just as an opinion, the 18-135 is a very nice lens

. A couple of other people looked at the shots from the earlier outings and said the 18-135 results seemed better than the 16-85.

I also feel that the 18-135 is better

At least in my opinion the test today produced some surprisingly good shots. They were clear with good control of light and shadow. In Lightroom I did correct glare, reducing highlights and whites. I didn't use any sharpening. Almost all the shots seemed very sharp. I did use the Lightroom corrective profile on all the shots, something I don't have to do with the 16-85.

I only use in camera lens correction and process raws in SilkyPix, have got good results with 18-135. This range is so good that you will want to put this lens back if u use some other lens. The color, sharpness is great. Only the da 35/1.4 and 50/1.8 probably beat this.
