Unless he wants to take macro shot of bugs and the like. In that case, DA35/2.4 + DFA100WR might be a better choice.

Ah thanks also i am thinking of getting the K-5 due to it being the same price as the K-50.

Thanks so much again everyone yous are so much help with all this.

IMO, my keeper rate with heavier FA* lenses dropped with the K30 over the K5 I used previously.
My observation is that the lenses seem to whirl up slower than before on the K5.

So to me, I will get the higher end camera (K5IIs, K3) when I replace my K30.
Hopefully, Pentax will produce a FF and I will no longer need to do a juggle between FF (something else) and aps-c Pentax.

Your interests are pretty diverse, maybe you should consider picking one or two subject matters to concentrate on first and get the lens or lenses which lets you really dive deep into that.
