Smeggy a few weeks ago I bought myself a Kata Bumblebee-222 UL, it's very nice a bit big though but it feels smalls on your back so that's good.
I'm just trying to find things to fill it with.
I've already thought out how it will fit a 3 pieces storbist kit and 3 of my best lenses

Might do a little review about it the upcoming weekend, i'm sure some here might find it interesting.

I'm now also thinking of getting a Crumpler Turkish Shower for when going urban.
I'm just not so sure it will fit my basic kit; a camera + DA*16-50 + DA*50-135 + flash

but £599 is quite pricey for a lens which would be inferior to what you already have
The DA 18-135 in a kit will be £450.. still quite a lot for a lens that does not really add anything to my collection.

Will just have to wait for the reviews to see how good it really is, now you can hardly say anything about the lens.

you might as well get a superzoom and go longer
Funny you say that.
I had a DA 18-250 but sold it because I didn't like the huge range and to fund the DA*50-135.
But still I'm curious to buy the DA 18-135 to try it out...

I actually love the longer focal lengths, give me a DFA 100mm or DA*50-135 and that will do so for me 135format will never be interesting, I rather have a lighter and smaller camera instead.
If I would want more quality I would jump to MF instead to really gain something.

I agree, the K-X is a great little camera and one of the smallest and easiest to use.
It can even do video if you want

I'm still pondering if I should get it with the DA 18-135 or not
I already have that range perfectly covered with the DA*16-50 and the DA*50-135 but it seems like such a handy range for when I don't want to carry any extra camera gear... it can also be handy if someone will borrow my K10D.

So what to do...

You will like it though but it can get really complicated with a flash though since you actually add another dimension to your photography to consider
To a look at the sites like the strobist.com 101 to get the basics.

Isn't the same.
With the K10D you can control the settings off your camera from your PC, I don't think you can do that with an Eye-Fi card.

I think the Metz 48 offer more features (swivel head is a important one) than the AF360FGZ for the price but from what I heard the UI is better on the Pentax.

Here is a comparison of most of the modern flashes.

And what did they improve this time?

Yes I believe so, the program needed is on the CD you got with the camera, it's called remote assistance so out of my head.
