With motorcycling for example it was a process of pull over to admire some scenery then;
- put down sidestand
- step off bike
- wriggle off backpack, made awkward by motorcycle jacket
- take off both gloves to fish out and operate camera
- take off helmet to use viewfinder because LiveView seemed unnatural and is not great on the K-x
- find somewhere to put gloves and helmet, and it's probably windy
- reverse all of the above
vs.
pull over and;
- take off one glove
- reach into jacket pocket for camera phone
- replace phone & glove, click back into 1st gear and on my way
The GR is edging into the lead so far. I hope I'll still use my DSLR if I go that way.
I've also discovered the Fujifilm X70 which I'm now considering.

I will check out those 28's you suggested.
As far as I remember I have:
Pentax-M SMC
- 28mm f3.5
- 50mm f1.7
- 100mm f2.8
- 135mm f3.5
As I said, I liked that 24mm Miranda lens the best but I think I enjoyed the SMC 28mm a lot too.
Hmm... maybe I 'need' a wide zoom?
