All the lines make this photo.

Welcome to Ventura Harbor (and apologies for the chopped-off tree!) SMC-M28/3.5 on K-5:

I think now my manual lens kit is as complete as I'll ever need for the k1

Most recent additions are M 50/17 and SMC 24/2.8 (ok, technically not an M lens), along with M 28/3.5, M 50/1.4, M 135/3.5 and M 200/4

...or is it? There are few M primes missing. I could give you some good tips

No zooms? At least two M series zooms were quite good, 35-70 and 80-200. I have the latter, and also the 40-80, which is a bit of an oddity (not very common and with very variable opinions of its performance, mine was great on film, but maybe not on a mega-sensor).

The 75-150 was quite good as well, I believe, but I never had one.

Are you sure? You really need an M300/4 lens. Yes, you do.

The 35-70/2.8-3.5 is a gem . . . . . . . . . . and quite reasonable in price.

And if you want to stray over into "A" country, there's the "Stack of Primes."

Interesting suggestions everyone

While I like my current set of m lenses, maybe I'll expand at some point.
Here's another photo, k1ii and 135/3.5

Did some shooting today searching for memorials with the M85 f/2 to finish the single in challenge for May.
Here is one that I found and photographed with the K5ii + M85 f/2
