The general impression of the 18-135 I got while researching the matter
for a friend, was that the Pentax version wasn't the best available in
that focal length range, that honor fell to the Nikon. The conventional
wisdom is that a shorter zoom range makes it easier to design and build
an overall better lens, so by that reasoning and the fact that the
Pentax 18-135 isn't the best... Well really I can't make a
determination based on current knowledge. Sure it will probably be
better, on average, but we won't know if it really will be and how much
until a few get out there for review and testing, after all there are a
lot of variables to be considered. Personally I'd not worry about it,
if you're happy with the results you get from the 18-135, there's no
need to speculate.

My question is how much better will this lens be than my current zoom
lens, the bDA 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 ED AL [IF] DC WR?
