It's no fun for your only lens to be a zoom...it takes away the "restrictive" creativity of having just one focal length. If you're doing a lot of indoor shots, the higher speed of the zoom makes a significant difference on the AF (at least with the K-5).
In my last trip, I took the DA21, 40, and 70 with the K-5...just checking the EXIF, I noticed that 90% or more of my shots were done with the 40!
I just wished that I took more shot stopped down, like 70% of all the shots were done wide open. When reviewing, I actually prefer more of the stopped down shots.
I guess that for a one prime one body kit...anything from 30-50 should work, depending on your style. I had a very good time with the 40, next time I'll try with the FA43 and then with the FA50 1.4.
