But only if he/she had a strong back or a mule. I love my 28-70 f2.8 but
hardly ever use it because it adds so much weight to the bag. I
generally carry the 28-70 f4 instead. I never seriously considered
buying the 80-200 f2.8 once I saw how much it weighs. (Probably would
not have bought it anyway because of the price.)

My point would be that the two lenses plus a PENTAX 1.4 teleconverter covered
98% of the needs of a working PJ.
