Larry: I love the K20D & the DA* 50 - 135mm. If you're looking to be
nudged, this is a winning combination in my view. Cheers, Christine

Subject: Temptation
Here I am, trying to be good and plan and strategize my gear
purchases, taking care to get things that fill in real needs, not just
because they are shiny, or seem like a good deal.
There are a couple of gear bundles on ebay that are frighteningly
tempting.
There's a K10D with a bunch of lenses, and if I didn't already have a
bigma, I'd be all over that auction. It's such a temptation to bid on
the whole kit, to turn around and sell the individual items.
The K20, with the 16-50 and the 50-135, and some other stuff, with a
BIN of $2000, is giving me fits. The 16-50/2.8 would make a great
indoor zoom, and the 50-135 has been on my wish list for a while. I've
really been trying to hold off on getting a K20 and waiting for a
K30.
The sad part is the tricks that my mind tries to play on me. Such as
if I bought the bundle, I could probably sell the lenses for enough
that I'd end up with the body for only $400. Like I'd be able to sell
those lenses once I had them.
I really ought to know better than to scan ebay.
What's even more peevesome is that it's an absolutely gorgeous day and
rather than playing with my camera, I need to go to work.
