Looking to replace my 18-55 with somthing much better.

I just bought myself the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8...about 10 minutes ago.

I based a lot of my decision making on this thread, and reading a BUNCH of reviews including those on the pentax lens page in this forum.

Hope it all pans out for a much better lens.

That kit lens truly does suck.

One question I would have about the lens I bought...right now my camera bag is pretty hefty and I am looking to lighten up some....

I have a 28mm Pentax-A prime...I am thinking that the Tamron can replace this one for when I travel and walk around and so forth... I will probably keep the 28mm prime but maybe not have it in my bag at all times...I might lighten up on a few 50's and say carry with me either my f1.4 prime or my Pentax-A f1.7 (I also have a f1.7 prime that is manual that I can leave at the house too so I can travel lighter...)

I am wondering with a good quality zoom if it would be wise to leave the 28mm at home from time to time....what would be the strengths and the weaknesses there other than you have more aperture ranges with the prime?
