Karn, I think I've finally gotten it right and you should copy my kit.

Pentax DA 16-45mm - You will have trouble finding anyone who owns one and doesn't love it. Extra wide and low distortion at 16mm make this a great lens for architectural photos. And the price is amazing right now ($309 at Adorama).

Pentax FA 50mm F/1.4 - Classic photo length, faster than the fastest zoom, better IQ than any zoom. A wonder at the price.

Pentax DA 55-300mm - Better IQ and longer than DA 50-200mm, for not much more money. Better IQ than comparable Sigma and Tamron telezooms, especially wide open. Wider angle and Quick-Shift focus are really nice to have in a telezoom.

This kit should kill your LBA for a very long time.
