Thanks for the suggestions P.J. but if you notice the list was not written
in stone. It was just a list I was looking for as far as keeping an eye out
for those lenses. I would not purchase duplicate lenses as I was just
jointing down lenses to keep an eye out for.
Thanks again..

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.
The A 50 and M 50 f1.7 are optically essentially the same lens. You
won't gain much by having one of each. I'd go for the A but if you can
live with the M lens' exposure

Let's see what you can do with this one!

By the way, despite my complaints with the 540, I don't mean to imply that it
is impossible to get good photos with it. The problem is what you get for how
much you pay. I often have better luck with promaster flashes that I paid less
to buy, than I've paid to repair the AF540.

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 such as the AF330FTZ or
AF400FTZ won't work properly and you'll need
