A 16-35mm zoom gives a rough equivalent to a 25-55mm on the D30/D60, if you can afford the costly Canon lens. This would work for me because I don't do a lot of wide angle shots for the type of pictures in which I specialize. I do use longer lenses for most of my work. The 100mm f/2 becomes an equivalent 160mm f/2, and a 28-105mm zoom pretty much covers a range of 45-170mm.
But, I agree with you that lots of people on the PDML, or at least the PUG, like their wide and super-wide lenses. For my own fun shooting, I like them too. But, if I was sure that Pentax isn't going to produce a good digital SLR, I'd probably sell all of my Pentax stuff and go where my needs would be met. I am, however, sure that Pentax will produce one, and I'll be able to use all of my Pentax lenses, if they maintain the lens mount compatibility. Len --- > So a 28mm lens becomes a 45mm lens.
