If you're seeing fingerprints, you might need to use a lint-free cloth and ... okay, I'm kidding.
Here's a list I found somewhere a while back...
FA* 80-200 mm, 24 mm, 85 mm, 600 mm
FA Limited 43 mm, 77 mm
DA 14 mm, 50-200 mm, 10-17 mm
DA Limited 40 mm
DA*55.

Congrats on 10 years! :D
I voted "other" -- I think the DA 21 and DA 35 would suit you fine. I think the f/2.4 of the DA 35 would be plenty fast with a K-5 on the other end of it.
There is a definite gap in the Pentax lineup between 21 and 35 (reasonably priced options anyway), but I think the Sigmas are a bit big to bring on vacation -- might as well bring a zoom! ;) I used to have the Sigma 30mm though and it was a great people lens. But for scenery and streets, the 15, 21 and 35 would suit you better!
Either way, have a great trip and don't annoy your wife too much switching lenses (I speak from experience!). :D

For that lens, I'd go the Leitax route, but I don't see it on the list of compatible lenses (perhaps only because they're rare and expensive and he hasn't had the chance to convert one).
You can email David at Leitax and ask about a mount for that lens. He's done custom mounts for people before.

Cool shots! Looks mint too!
Free bump to make sure the right person sees this :)

Great kid lens!
I have both the A 50/1.2 and the DA*55. I prefer AF, because I drink and focusing manually with a beer in one hand is just hopeless (YMMV).
I wouldn't be afraid of the DA*55 though--it has good detail wide open but the bokeh definitely suffers.
I'm going to assume you're looking for stuff from the wider apertures. I'll try to post some I haven't posted before of my girls. Some of these with the K-7, some with the K-x.
f/2
f/1.6 (ok, I've posted this before, but not in colour)
f/2.5
f/2

f/2.5
f/1.8

f/3.2

Wow, your K50/1.2 does extremely well wide open!
The 31 shows smurf in the smurf, but it's gone once you smurf down to f/2.8 (or possibly sooner), while the K50 shot is very well smurfed even wide open (maybe a hint of red smurf there in the high smurf areas, but nothing you'd notice unless you really smurfed).

Back on the beach--an action shot this time with my 3-year-old. This one was on the K7 at 50mm, f/3.5, 1/2000 sec, ISO 200...
Nice way to spend my 1000th post :D

Ha! Yeah, that's the one. Thanks for posting that--I couldn't find the post and thought people would .... well, wonder.
However, I thought the red bag only shipped with the silver 31, whereas the black limiteds always had black bags. Maybe not?

If the Sigma 85 is as good as the Zeiss 85, I'll buy two and wear them on my nipples.
