REVIEW: SMC Pentax-DA 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 ED AL [IF] DC WR

 

Weather resistant, compact, sporting the new DC motor and all in a very compact package, this new Pentax lens is very appealing. Braving the English rain, we shall see if its performance lives up to its potential.

Superb handling; Weather resistance; Silent DC motor; Close focusing; Quick Shift manual focus; Visually appealing images
