Mark My DA 18-55 WR is superb. Very sharp & feels good. Better than the unusually good version of the FA 28-80 I had before. The best thing about it was the price - a mere $12 because it was "shop soiled", meaning a bit of damage to the box! I used it exclusively with excellent results on the

Bob, my understanding (which may be a year or two out of date) is that the LR Classic CC (which I use BTW) allows for the Cloud-based storage and synch of selected Collections from within LR. If you are going to a total Cloud-based storage system, then that would be Lightroom CC, not Classic.
