if you could only have one lens....

Do it all over again? The K-7 and the FA77 Limited. Then pick up a cheap Vivi 28mm and screw-on macro adapter for the 77. There's little you couldn't do with that, though I'd soon be saving for the DA12-24.

FA31.... damn...

Though at current prices, hi can probably get a D300s + AF-D35/2 and will still have some money left...

Based on the lenses I have, for the digital bodies the DA 35mm ltd.

For AF film the FA 50mm f1.4 and for other k film bodies like the Super Program and K2 the A 50mm f1.2.

For m42 it would be tough between the macro-tak 50mm f4 and the Auto Tak 55mm 'Zebra'

However, the reason I originally got into interchangeable lens cameras was to not get into the just 1 lens situation.
