If you want to experiment with cheap but still very capable lens, the da 35mm 2.4, although officially an apsc lens, does cover the ff sensor, maybe with moderate vignetting, but nothing too unusual. If you'd like a fast 50mm on the cheap, I can recommend the Pentax-f (or fa) 50mm 1.7. It is very sharp and has good bokeh characteristics imo.
If you want to taste some of Pentax's Magic, get yourself a fa 43mm limited.
For portrait work, the da 70mm also covers the ff sensor nicely enough, especially for portrait work, and isn't very expansive while still being a superbly constructed lens, tiny, sharp and all. Not the fastest at 2.4, but subject separation on a ff camera should be very good at 2.4 still.
For macro work, the dfa 100wr is a no brainer at the price it goes for new now.
For telephoto, the Tamron 70-200mm gets good reviews although it is an old design with screw drive focus (like all of the lenses I suggested already). For the price it sells for though, hard to beat. The Pentax equivalent, while being very expansive, is as good or better than any of
The other 70-200mm offered on the market by any brand. Ephotizine just tested it I believe and this were their findings.
For longer lenses, the da 300mm is superb, has built in focusing motor and is very sharp right from f/4 (wide open).
Beyond 300mm, you have to look a little harder, but the options are there. You could use teleconverter (not sure if the Pentax hd 1.4 is ff or not? I'm pretty sure they said it wasn't, but it may work well with certain lenses anyway - don't know.) the new Pentax-dfa 150-450mm is of course a very nice lens also.
Well... I got carried away there. Let us know what you like to shoot and what your needs are and I'm sure you'll get plenty of sound advices. (The new dfa-28-105mm is also a very good performer!!)
