Which lens should I get next?

I am in this same exact boat. I just purchased a White Kx with 18/55 + 50/200 and have nearly bought a pentax-m 50mm f1.7 on ebay already. I also like the pictures of pentax-m 28mm f2.8 lenses I've seen, but can't quite seem to find one for as cheap as the 50mm 1.7.

beecherheather, welcome to the forum!

while most people will recommend the lenses they have and love i would like to ask a few questions first.

why do you think you need a new lens?
what's wrong with your existing lenses?
what are you trying to accomplish by acquiring a new lens?
what's your budget?

if you have just money burning a hole in your pocket feel free to PM me about the 50mm i have for sale

hehehe

Things have changed since Moses was Time's man of the year, haven't they? (Miss those days myself... ;-)
