Some of the tools I use to express my self.. not every thing got laid out on the table... I had to use one camera and my flash to take the picture... and well there's way too much other stuff to fit on a table. I think I'm pretty much set as far as lenses for "now" LBA is held in check.... I think.
Shot with a Pentax K-01 and a YN560 Speedlite bounced off the ceiling.
This was taken with a 40mm pancake lens not pictured in 6 exposures that have been stitched together.
Favorites at this point...
17-70mm 2.8-4
50mm 1.4,
70-200mm 2.8,
50-500mm 4.5-6.3

Tsk tsk tsk. LBA can't be done. You're missing the 31mm limited! Makes for a perfect normal prime on APS-C. (And has better resolving power than Leica equivalents. And better bokeh.)
Wish I had the 50-500 though...such a versatile lens.
Check out the 16-50 some time too. It's criticized for its sharpness wide open, but I love mine.(Sure blows most lenses in the range out of the water, and has the best bokeh for a zoom in that range IMO)

But but but.... I'm trying to holed the LBA "lens buying addiction" at bay... I have rationalized for the moment that with a
17-70mm, WR18-50mm, 40mm, 50mm, M50mm, 70-200mm, 70-300mm, 50-500mm
That I have it covered "for now" I really want to dive in to a nice collection of Pentax Primes... but not yet... Later... LOL
I may be getting a 24-70mm 2.8 Sigma before I get a 16-50 though... Going to be trying some creative light photography with the 50-500 soon... Can't wait!
Thanks for your input I'm new to primes for the most part as far as using them a lot... but it is fun how they make you think on your feet. You can't just zoom them in and out to change your view or composition you have to keep moving. Really helps work on my eye as all the moving around helps you see things differently.
Hugs you tight!

Hehe, LBA doesn't end silly - It just has moments of being underfunded! I love the few primes I have(All fully manual, can't afford limited lenses, though I borrowed a friend's for a minute once...best thing ever), sadly, my 135 2.8 committed suicide the other day. (Focusing ring seized, and when I did get it moving again, the lens came out of it's barrel...)
Also - If you're looking for similar IQ at half the price, the Tamron 28-75 leaves just as many jaws dropped as the Sigma 24-70. It's just devoid of the HSM, so you get the lovely squeal of the focusing motor.
*Hugs* You're making me want more lenses, even more than before now...
