My most used zoom is the very compact DA 18-135 f3.5-5.6, very well built, fast and silent focusing and extremely convenient focal range. Some complain corners are soft when pixel peepin, but it delivers very appealing pictures, very sharp in the center up to 80, still sharp in the center stopped down at the long end, with high contrast and microcontrast.

The K3 IQ, ergonomy and AF-S are top class, only issue is a sub-par AF-C.

Agree, my fav travel combo to date was the k3 and 18-135 wr. It was 100 percent reliable travelling last year in some bad weather conditions in Ecuador. I sold the lens after losing my K3.

cheers,
