Concerning AF or MF, I mostly shoot Street, Landscape and Architecture, so MF will do fine.
I do however find it quite anoying to have too many steps to go through before I can press the shutter,
so I'd really prefer an A-Prime or an AF-Zoom, I'll take a K/M-Prime too, if there is a big difference in IQ or price.

The K200/2.5 is around 300€ on german ebay, I'd certainly buy it if I find one at a bargain price but I think the A200/4 is the better choice for me.
Here is a test comparing all the Pentax 135s and the DA55-300 (in german but with loads of test shots).
According to that the K135/2.5 and the A135/2.8 are pretty much equal, except the K has the better bokeh and the A is sharper wide open.
The A is lighter and more compact, has a shorter minimal focus distance and the same 52mm filter thread as all my current lenses.
They're both around 120€ on german ebay, so I'd probably go for the A135 for the sake of convenience.
@jt_cph_dk:
You mean
this one, right? At the same price I'd probably go for the A135 but it's certainly something to look out for, thanks!
I guess I'll start looking for a A200/4 or a F70-210/4-5.6, if I find a A200/4, I'll keep looking for the A135/2.8.
I'd rather save the money for a wide angel zoom (Sigma 10-20?) than spend more on a slow AF-Zoom.
Thanks again for all the help, everyone!
