Ultimate collection of lenses that you would like

Looks like one, but I don't think the lens is anything special at
least not judging by these photos: link

If anyone has one of these, it's reported to be sharper wide open with a decent UV filter on the front. (112mm I think).

It's not is it!...compared to the DA*300 It's very ordinary!

This thread has got me looking at the SRS site to see what lenses are current...

I have DA16-45, DA18-55 (rarely used), FA24-90, DA55-300, A24 2.8, A50 1.7 (plus M28 3.5 and M50 f2 for the ME) - the aim is to have one spare lens in my bag at a time.

If I was starting from scratch my list (for digital) would probably be, in rough order:

DA 17-70 - general purpose walkabout (replaces 16-45 and 24-90)
DA 55-300 (or maybe DA* 60-250) - objects in landscape, activity etc
DA 35 Macro Limited - objects, general purpose prime
FA 77 Limited - portraits and objects
DA 12-24 - cityscapes, mountains etc
DA 18-135 - foul-weather walkabout (this would go to the top of the list and replace the 17-70, but I'm not 100% convinced by the image quality)
DA 40 Limited - because I like the look of it on the K20/K5
