I'm a little late to this but looking at your list of lenses I see a bit
of redundancy that might save you some money.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the K-r if Larry's experience with the one he tested
is anything to go by.
Regarding a flash, keep in mind that the K-r doesn't support TTL. You will
need a flash that offers P-TTL. So models suc
