Oh well, message checking is part of my afternoon cake procedure. ;-)
But if you want something concrete - the 18-135 will get a ** optical rating. The long end performance spoils the game.

From the comments of the few users I read here and there, I was expecting something along the *** line.

What I'm really hoping for from Pentax is something like a 16-70 2.8-4.5 WR with excellent IQ (price doesn't matter much as long as it's good). I guess I can keep dreaming!
To me the main reason for WR is more the dust protection. I keep getting dust in my zoom lenses and I find it really annoying (the Sigma 17-70 is a dust vaccum it seems!).
