That leaves one problem: the wide end.
The "DA lens angst" gets played out here quite frequently. It seems over much. You don't need a "bagful of DA lenses"... From the sound of it, you need just one DA lens for the digital body: either a DA16-45/4, a DA12-24/4 or a DA14/2.8. I predict Pentax will have 16x24mm sensor bodies for a long time to come, and even if they do come out with a 24x36mm body sometime in the next few years, there will be plenty of people to buy that DA lens from you.
The other alternative is an A15/3.5 ... they come up occasionally for prices in the $600-800 range. KEH had a Bargain grade one for $665 a month ago.
