Lovely, especially #3.

The DA35 won't add much weight and I suspect will see more use than the 15mm. The 15mm is still definitely worth taking though!

If your kit lens is a good sample (none of mine have been) it would make sense to take that instead.

On the long end - DA100WR. Tele shots and flower macros

Stan, you lucked out there! Have the mf version and love it. Always fancied the af version but couldn't justify the extra expense. But I paid more than you for my mf version!

The 50-135mm is a great lens.
The 16-50mm can reasonably be replaced with the Tamron 17-50mm if budget is a concern and lens sealing isn't.
I've had and enjoyed both the 15 and 70mm but ultimately a high quality zoom is more convenient.

I so agree with your comments Andrew, especially about the sense of delight when using a traditional SLR.

Does dialling in lens AF fine adjustment affect both CDAF (on sensor) and PDAF (viewfinder) auto focus?
It doesn't affect CDAF, which as you say uses information from the actual sensor to confirm focus (hence why it is slower but more reliable).

Can recommend http://www.snapsphotoservices.com/ for a good postal service with very high res scans at a reasonable price.
