Here I'm gonna disagree with axl and Lowell... I just traded my 24-60/2.8 for a 18-50/2.8, which will soon be replaced with a *16-50. IMHO, once you get a K20D, you can crop 50mm to 60 or 70mm without significant loss, but at 24mm you'll have to stitch a few frames together to get the field of view of an 18mm lens. For me at least, having the added wide end makes up for the loss of the long end... and of course that's what it comes down to here, personal use and taste. For me, 18mm is plenty wide for travel, though I'll get a ultra-wide rectilinear someday just to cover the range.

I think your plan sounds reasonable. I'd hesitate to call the *50-135 a replacement for the range of the 75-210, but if you find yourself mostly in the lower end of that range I'm sure it'll blow doors on the promaster.

Order wise I'd probably do it as you have listed... Camera first, then the short end, finally the long end, but that's just me.
