Summary: not really actively shopping, but if anything I am most likely to buy
a micro 4/3 body and a DA 12-24 lens.
1. Pentax APS-C format:
I haven't decided yet whether I'll replace my K20D's with K-5's or wait for the
next generation body.
Lets see, lenses . . .
a. Zooms? I have the 16-50, 50-135, and 60-250. I would definitely like
the DA12-24, and I wouldn't refuse if someone offered to give me a FA* 250-600
but I can't really say that I need one.
b. Macro? I have one each 50mm, 100mm, 200mm. The DA35 would fill out
the set but isn't really needed.
c. Other primes? I have a 400mm "in transit" that I just bought for an
upcoming birding trip. Can't think of any others I need right now.
2. Other Pentax:
I would not refuse the gift of a 645D and associated lens kit. But if I had the
money, I think I would instead go on a couple of photo trips (Antarctica &
South Africa). But only if I could find a FA* 250-600.
3. Other other:
I would like a digital body of some sort which would allow me to use the
several Leica M lenses I inherited from my father-in-law, probably a micro 4/3
with EVF. The M-9 looks nice, but see (2) above.
