I see your point. not so long ago I got a pentax W30 p/s. it is great fun to just carry that around. on the other hand, this will be my first trip there (second to u.s. of a, first was > 20 yrs ago) and who knows when or if there will be a second. the main lenses I had/have with Z-1 were FA*28-70 (which I use as standard lens) and the FA*80-200 for tele, with the 50/1.4 for low light and the zenitar fish-eye for fun. typically the 80-200 stays home unless some use is anticipated or lugging it around is not an issue. I guess I'v grown accustomed to the idea of 'always' having 28-70 and sometimes having 28-200 (35mm equiv) available. so the to DA* lenses have the appeal of familiar fov, while being more compact and less weight and.... with the k10d came the 18-55 kit lens I forgot in previous post, I mainly use it when I need wider angle than the 28-70 gives. I now again have M28/2.8 and M135/3.5 - could be nice to once try to limit myself to these and see what it brings.
