I never went beyond 28mm in my 'film days', but now enjoy the extra 'width' that the 16-50 provides and of course the 10 - 17

You should stop using all those anti-ageing creams I'm left handed and left eyed. And I don't have any problems, other than the fact that the LCD gets very greasy

Cheapest I've seen a K20D body, from a Pentax dealer is €899. You can get it for less from a non Pentax dealer though - usually with full Dutch guarantee.
How about hopping over on the ferry for a long weekend : golfdiesel wrote:

I agree.
It is always worth giving Chris a ring.
He is a very nice chap.
I just wish his shop was not so far away.

The DA* 16-50 and the DA* 300 both take 77mm filters, so you can economise and share a filter between the two lenses.
