The 31, 43, and 77 are the biggest reasons I bought the K1 and are the basis of my bag. I have older 50, 90 and 100 manual focus macros which are all great. Wider I have several 28 manual and the A 24-50. If I want longer there’s the DA 200 or A 300.
Short answer, the 100wr is a great lens, but I would never forgo my 77 for one with the K1.

I would go for either the 24-70mm or 28-105mm D FA lenses. Both are quick to focus; the K-1 deserves a modern AF lens as your go-to walkaround zoom, IMO.

have you considered the D FA * 70 - 200mm F2.8 ED DC AW?
" A 70-200mm lens serves many purposes, especially on full frame. It can be used for portraits (both outside and in a studio), sports, weddings, photojournalism, wildlife, concerts and shows. Such a lens also comes with high expectations. Photographers will expect a high level of optical performance, fast AF, and high reliability. "

yes, it is expensive, unless you want to go the " experienced " route and can find one for a good price
yes it is big and heavy
and yes it is good.

Oh my gosh, I was in the exact position in January. I started out with the K-1, and got the 3 FA Limited lenses along with the FA 100mm Macro. Sure you could do everything with that gear. But remember that the 3 FA Limited lenses are screw drive focus, and no weather protection. Now, I miss the modern zooms with very fast focus and weather protection. I got the 15-30 just last week and love it. Now, I'm getting the 24-70 next week. I got a little tired of changing lens so much, and misses the 24 mm focal length. If I had it to do again, I would start with the zooms, and get the Limited lenses later, or not at all. You really can't go wrong either way, as far as image quality. Hope this helps.

With that trio alone you are going to miss the DA15. While its only about 22 mm "equivalent" that is a very useful focal length. Other than that, you will be very happy with the FA limited trio.

1 your choice is the correct one, so don't worry about what I or anyone else would do or say
2 the 70-200mm F2.8 covers a lot of ground and has a lot of what you said you were looking for, IMHO, read the user reviews and In Depth Review I linked to for details
3 it gives you a AW ( supposed to be better for dust/moisture protection than WR ) protected lens from short portrait to telephoto
usable for many purposes
4 you would have wide angle - 31 and normalish - 50 lenses on the full frame K 1, you would not have an ultra wide nor long telephoto
5 all lenses usable on an APS-C camera body should you have to put off buying a K 1
