Here's my thinking, (and what's getting me in trouble). With the 20-40, I could put it on my K3 and it would be great as an all around WR lens when I travel. When I get the K1, I could add the 31 plus the 100 macro and I would have a nice full frame kit.
This doesn't include the plethora of M42, K, M & A lenses I have, which cover me quite well from 24 to 200. Nor the several zooms I have. I could get rid of the 55-300 and Sigma 24-105, both excellent copies, in mint condition which I purchased new. That would give me a little more room...
You did ask.
But I cannot even begin to count the times I have completely ignored my own advice.
So feel free.
EDIT - But I suspect you have used similar methods to rationalize the purchase of many of the lenses you already own. To be honest though, if you really want a very, very good walk around lens I would recommend the Pentax DA 18-135 over the 20-40. It is also weather resistant and far more flexible. I tried the 20-40 and really was not that impressed.
