Is it worth owning, or should I just wait until I have enough saved up to get the DA* 16-50?
It is the same as the 18-55 version II that was released at the same time as the K20, I think. The only difference is that it has weather sealing. As to whether or not you should go with it, it really depends on what is important to you. You could get a DA 16-45 and the weather sealed kit for less than the 16-50 and that would probably cover you for most situations, unless you think you would use the f2.8 a lot.
I have the 16-50 and like it a lot, but as I say, it really depends on what you think you want/need.
