Based on year of single lens 35mm film cameras typically having a 40-45mm lens for widest possible usage, I would say at this point with Pentax digital that a good 28mm lens would be the best bet for all around usage on DSLR...A clean K28/2.0 does the trick nicely.. jco

On my 3 week trip this summer, I hauled everything. My wife ended up using my *ist D with the 16-45, and I used my K 10D with the 70mm limited almost exclusively. I did put a f 100-300 on for a couple of wildlife shots, but other than that, we would just trade lenses. I felt I learned a lot by restricting myself to the fixed focal length of the 70, not to mention the rendering and sharpness of that lens. I am now lusting after the 21, then either the 40 or 43. Wife can't say much about getting more limiteds, I just ordered the DA 18-250 for her to take to China and Japan this summer on an educators trip. She will again be using the *ist D. I really hate loosing that camera.
