I only have the 77 and I do not have qualms bringing it outside the
house. It does tend to stay indoors but that's because its used for
portrait work (along with the 50mm & 135mm). I tend to use zooms
outdoors.

I, sadly, have not acquired any really juicy lenses to worry about but
figure tools need to be used.

What's the point of having lenses if you don't use them?
Whether I don't own the lens, or I left it at home, if I miss the
shot, the kitten still dies.
My K20, FA31, DA40, and FA77 all together cost me less than Dave

well-used by the time I got them; an extra scuff-mark isn't going
to stand out like a sore thumb. The

I only have the 43mm and I've manage to make the focusing helical sound

I already knew the DA40 was pretty good as a full frame lens. The DA70
