Two heavy, largish lenses. One lightweight fast lens. > DA14 DA21 FA43 DA70 Pentax 1.7x teleconverter One heavy, large lens. Three compact, light lenses, one fast. Aside from the teleconverter, this latter is my kit unless I don't feel like carrying the weight of the DA14, which I then just leave home. I'm not sure how well the 1.7x TC works with the DA70. I would test that first... Reason I say that is that I find the Rear Converter 2x- S is not a particularly good match to the DA70: it causes some exaggerated red edge blooming in my experience.
