Nice shot. The DA 70 limited is close to affordable. But maybe you should invest in the DA*50-135/2.8. It's as sharp and as fast as most primes, and the price has come down a bit. I think you can get one for about $700. Of course it's not particularly small A zoom is ideal for events where you can't be sure how close you can get. It's my most used lens. Of couse it's not a mini like that DA 70, but for other than really big glass, I find size irrelevant.
