Leak parade: Pentax 18-135mm WR lens (w/K-5)

The leak parade continues, this time RiceHigh points out that at one German retailer the yet-to-be-announced Pentax K-5 is listed in three different kits, one of which is with a Pentax 18-135mm WR lens.

The Pentax 18-135mm WR (weather resistant) lens does not currently exist, so we can presume that it will be announced together with the Pentax K-5 at the Pentax Photokina announcement. This will presumably be an APS-C lens, so if you are thinking in 35mm-equivalent, think something like 28-200mm (corrected; 200mm, not 300mm)

One not so rosy thing is that the 18-135mm WR kit (typo corrected, 18-135, not 18-200) costs 500 euro more than the body-only, and 400 euro more than the 18-55mm WR kit. Ouch if these prices hold!
