I concur with Rob. I have not bought a single prime, apart from the
older collection of M42, M, K & A lenses.
That's not good. I expect a higher standard of quality control.

Could it be that there are large quality variations among individual

I my experience the 18-135 is WAY better than that one ...
(but I have not used the 18-55 very much)

I see some here have posted some wonderful examples of 18-135. This is a
set posted on flicker just walking around in snow.

Actually I keep that lens on my K-5 as my default grab. I have not had
it all that long but I will try to look up some photos I took using it

I too looked at a ton of samples and didn't see one all that sharp at
all. Not even in the center. Its supposed to get decent figures in the
center, but the borders are pretty awful, and all the pictures I saw
confirmed that. If you did events and shot people, it would be more
than ok. For landscap
I also have one, and concur that it is a good walk-around lens and
great for travel, when it is difficult to carry around and keep
changing several lenses.

Quality is good to very good. It's not a prime. The corners are not
the best. As a walk around lens this lens is perfect. Nice colors,

I did a bit of research a while ago on 18-135mm lenses and the general
consensus of results was that none were particularly good, they are
after all, in APS-C format, what the 28-200mm lens is to 35mm format.
The best was the Leica D Vario-Elmar 14-150mm which isn't really in the
same league,
I haven't owned the lens but I did own the Pentax SMC DA 18-55mm

I purchased it as I was never pleased with the resultant image
quality. The Photozone review of the lens accords with my experience
