Originally posted by esman7 That is awesome advice. That just made me lean toward the 12-24mm that much more. Plus, down the road, I would like to get my hands on the 35mm f2.8 Macro Limited.
So then I'll be covering (not including kit lens): 12-24, 35, 50, 50-135...
Not bad... would you agree?

Yes - for a while, that was my main 'in the bag' kit - 12-24 f4, DA 35ltd f2.8, 50-135 f2.8, FA 50 1.7.
It gave mind-blowingly good IQ, and covered literally everything except long telephoto. (very wide, macro, fast lens, telephoto/portrait zoom)
Alternative kits:
12-24,
FA 35 f/2, 50-135 (lose macro but fold the 'fast' lens into the 35mm)
12-24, DA-or-FA 35,
60-250 f4 (gain long telephoto, but one stop slower)
