May I suggest the following set up ? Keep your
FA*24/2, and buy the 43/1.9ltd, 77/1.8ltd, and 135/2.8
lenses, and either an *ist or MZ-6 body (it fully
supports the FGZ360 flash and also has the Av/Tv
dial). I would also keep the FA*300/4.5 and then you
have a versatile and really lightweight ("cute")
equipment (compare the weight of similar equipment
from other manufacturers).
Enjoy,
Alexander

The 135/2L is more contrasty than
the Pentax A*135/1.8, but the latter probably has
better three-dimenionality.
