You have a nice camera. Get a good lens, like the DA 16-85, and you'll never regret it, or have to wonder about improbable equipment working together.

Thanks Joe. I do like finding some of these older lenses and the only downside is my compatibility knowledge is a bit lacking, but no big deal since they are mostly inexpensive.

I looked up the DA 16-85 lens you mention and wow, reviews are excellent. Definitely one to keep a eye on at that would make a excellent travel lens and if needing more reach, my feet are still working.

A lot of users here have the DA 18-135. I've seen good images taken with it. If you are looking for an all-around travel lens, it might do the job. I like the 16-85 because I often use the widest focal length, and a zoom with a shorter range will give better image quality.

Old lenses can be fun to collect and use. But for serious use, get a good current lens and you won't have to worry about incompatibility.
