I definitely have some lens purchase coming. As always, I start thinking about zooms and end up buying primes. I'm definitively getting the DA 70 as it fills a gap in my lens lineup. I've decided to blow off the FA 31 or FA 35 and just wait for whatever nice DA*30 eventually emerges. I have been wondering about the DA 21. I'll wonder harder.

Then my use of the zoom pretty much stopped as I found the prime to be that significant increment more capable a performer. A 20-35 plus a 70 is a remarkably complete kit for a tremendous amount of work.
