I have the 15mm , 21, 35, 50 & 70mm primes , and each has its merits . The 15mm is brilliant for Landscapes, architecture & Interiors, the 35mm is great for Portraits and Low Light and the 70 is fantastic for Portraits , but as a general walk about lens i use the 21mm as it is a near as possible to a 35mm lens on full frame , has excellent low light capabilities and is bitingly sharp .Don't worry abut the material they are made of , although Pentax lenses are some if not the best built lenses I have ever used it is the quality of the results and these ARE the best I have ever used

That's indeed a fine line-up. I never get over how it is possible to make these gems so small and so brilliantly good at the same time. I happily pay the penalty of not having f/1.4 all the way. (I have a K50/1.2 for those "only one eye in focus" shots should I ever want them.)

Oh, and welcome aboard!
