The camera is on the way to "Optik Makario" here in Germany ( [url="http://www.h-maccario.de/wordpress/"]http://www.h-maccario.de/wordpress/[/url] ) - the website is presented in German only. My K5 will be the first for the transformation. He has done so for numerous models (Nikon, Canon, etc. pp) including the K7. They started back in 2005 so they've got some experience here.



I will report back, of course. However, this will take a while now. The expected turnaround time is 2-3 weeks. Regarding the recent discussion I postponed the package till today actually.

I suppose you'll be testing the DA 18-135 after you get the camera back?

Or did you happen to perform the test already?



What are your preliminary thoughts regarding the IQ of this lens? Does it seem better or worse than the Nikkor 18-135?



Thanks!
