I like the point about "zooming with your feet." It's all fun and games until you walk off a cliff or anger a bear by getting in it's space.

I want to get the Sigma 100-300 f/4, and with the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 I have I'd have a great dry weather kit.

Same. It will always find a home in my bag. My small kit is my Sigma 18-35 f/1.8, my Tamron 70-200 f/2.8, and DA 18-135 in case of bad weather and because it is so small, along with my K3. If I am doing infrared or full spectrum I bring the K-01 with me too, and I toss in my 1.7 AF adapter. I used to toss in my DA40 and F50, but I found I never used them.

It is a constant 1.8 and I've found it to be good. However, if you are wanting something a little wider and longer and are fine with f/2.8 then check the price watch section. They have the 16-50 for 399.

You might want to check out the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8. I used it to do a photoshoot with someone the other day and when she saw the originals she said she saw more detail that she sees in the mirror. It picked up everything. I'll post some examples:

And this one that I did some masking to smooth things a little:
