I'm super new to this.. I hope someone can help me out. I have had my Pentax K-S2 for a couple years now and I really love it but I'm just using the kit lens (18-50mm) that it came with - it also came with another lens that was 50-200 but I don't really use it because it's super noisy - I think I'm ready to upgrade to something more high end. A lot of people have been telling me there aren't very many lens options for Pentax but I would really like to just keep my camera and not have to buy a new one. I mostly take alternative photos - fashion and such - I also really like taking pictures of landscapes. I'm just looking for something that'll help me with the quality of my photos. Price doesn't matter as of right now - I just don't want to make a bad decision on what to buy.. Thank you in advance!

There are more lenses than you can carry, and likely buy.
I always recommend the 12-24, which is very wide. Used should be about $450. Not sure what 50-200 you have, but a Tamron brand 70-200 is very nice telephoto. It is a bit heavy because it is a constant f2.8. It is about $600 used. Both are screw-drive and will make some amount of noise. I got over that. The silent SDM lenses had some issues (silent dead motor) only early versions which may be better now.
