Just ordered a K5 packaged with a 50-200mm. Dropping back into photography after some years. Looking for a couple of other good lense rec's to start with. Just 1 or 2. Build / upgrade later, but to start would appreciate suggestions
of those for general purpose. Zooms are fine, can be heavy perspective. So can a bag of lenses. Sometimes a limit works to force good thinking... some options sometimes even better.

Welcome jwmster, I received the DA18-135 WR for Christmas last year and it stays on the camera, K7, most of the time, but opinions are like certain parts of the anatomy every one has one. Just my $0.02 worth......Cliff

USN RET: Thanks. Thinking of a Pentax A 35-105. Maybe a 50mm 1.4... and using those two with the 50-200mm.
