...but I finally found my original post.
The issue is finally resolved--I took the plunge and ordered the DA35 macro from Prodigital2000 and sold the 43. Since I'm going to be at my parents' in Tennessee week after next, I instructed them to send it there instead of my house in Florida. If it shows up before I do, then great! If it shows up while I'm there, still great!
At this point, this is what my lens kit will look like when my latest purchases arrive:
Sigma 17-70/2.8-4.5
Pentax DA55-300/4-5.8
Vivitar S1 105/2.8 macro
Pentax DA35/2.8 macro
This is what I eventually want to add to it:
Sigma 10-20/4-5.6
Pentax DA70/2.4 Ltd.
All that should make for a nice, well-rounded kit, which I hope to complete by mid-2009, at the latest.
Once I get my kit completed, I can take a break for a while and just save money and be ready when Pentax comes out with yet another round of bodies. I don't really need another body at this point, but if Pentax came out with a lightweight body similar to the Olympus E420, I'd be very tempted to pick it up as a second body.
I'm going on vacation and I get to play with new lenses. YAYYYY!!!
