Get the glass. Bodies may come and go, but lenses are forever. :-)
I have a 16-50 and it's really great, especially paired to the 50-135.

And the 16-50 goes all the way up to where the 50-135 can take over, so those
two lenses can cover most situations admirably. I have the 50-135, and the
16-50 was going to be my next wanna-have, until Pentax complicated the
situation with the K-5 introduction.

Based on the reviews I've read, I would concur with Paul. I would love to have
either lens.

BTW, while I like both lenses, I find the 16-50 much more useful. The wide end
is adequate for most situations, and with a range all the way up to what
amounts to short telephoto, it's a great all-purpose lens.

The DA* 16-50/2.8 is terrific. Some early samples had element alignment
problems, but that seems to have been resolved. The DA 12-24 is also very good.

Well, today my FA 20-35 took a tumble and now the focus is so tight the camera
can't drive it. aside from the K28, this was my widest lens. Still, I may
replace is with a more modern zoom. What suggestions do you have, based on your
experience. I admit I find it increasingly difficult to keep swapping lenses
in a travel situation.
