The DA 15mm limited is a great lens, light, very compact, good contrast, nice colours and exceptional resistance to flare: my son has it. I may buy one soon.

And you still have your X-S1 for birding.

I dont go birding myself, but, IMO, the DA 55-300 on K3 should be a good lens for birding.

I had hiked an afternoon to about 500 m elevations and back in last November with the DA18-135, DA55-300 and the DA15 mm Ltd on my K-30.  Lightness and compactness are indeed great virtures in those occasion.
