3. Pentax 55-300 f4-5.8 good tele for the price
Coming late to the thread I will only repeat that this is a very nice looking kit for the money. It seems you have done your homework.
Some suggest the 50mm will be too tight indoors. That may be true, but if you like getting details in low light it is wonderful. Sacrificing a stop to move to 35mm will not help your situation, IMO, since that is still too tight on a cropped sensor. Still, you have the 17-70 zoom for wider work.
Now, if I had $1000 and needed to start over, these would be my three choices:
1. The FA 77, a perfect portrait lens that is also suitable for shooting performances, picking out details in architecture, etc. and moderate tele work (like shooting people across a room without them noticing).
2. A manual Vivitar/Kiron/Komine 28/2 that can be used very nicely at f/2.8 and provides a "normal" field of view with close focus ability. Perfect for groups, landscapes, street shots, etc.
3. A screw-on 49mm macro adapter that turns the FA77 into a fine lens for extreme close-ups.
I can live without telephoto though I have the DA55-300mm and think it is a fine choice.
