There will always be exceptions, and maybe sensor size plays a part here, but I'd think that we would all agree that teh Mk1 16-55 wasn't exactly a small lightweight lens!!

But the 18-135mm and the 16-80 definitely have compromises

Definitely agree with all those comments. The mki is a heavy lens but the mkii is so much more compact and lighter it almost seems a lightweight. I have the 16-55mm f2.8 mkii on my XT5 most of the time.

Hi Jonathan, do you think the Mkii is worth the cose as an upgrade on the Mki?

Whilst on the subject of bags, are there any slings that have secure/lockable fastenings to prevent ‘pick pockets’ when in big cities or on travels? I find slings more comfortable but as they tend to be on your back they’re a bit vulnerable to someone accessing them without you knowing. My current travel bag has very loud velcro which makes it obvious if someone’s trying to get in, but slings all seems to be zips

I use little latching carabiners through the zip tags. IMO, nothing will STOP a determined tea leaf but these will definitely slow them down! THESE are what I use - other sources are cheaper but this was the first result of a search!

For me, the compromises in the 18-135 are outweighed by the convenience for a walkabout option.

Thanks. These aren’t actually lockable against thieves but in looking at those it brought up these which look a good option (y)

 
No, not lockable but they do have a little piece that 1/2 locks the clip.
If I was going to get an actual lock, I'd be tempted to go for a combination type rather than a key - I've mislaid keys often enough but can remember a 3 digit number!
If a tea leaf's that intent on getting in to your bag, he/she may well use a sharp knife...

I know what you mean with keys but combination locks tend to be pretty bulky, in comparison to a camera bag anyway.
