I've taken on board what folk have said, and I think if I hadn't got the 55-300mm which I use a great deal at shorter end, there would benefit to me going for the 18-135mm. A fair bit of the photography I'm now doing involves horses, and when I need a bit of magnification, it often goes a little way beyond 135mm. On the other hand, the 18-55mm is often not quite enough and 20mm more would be useful at times. I think that's the way I might go. Thanks Brian.
