These are all from my K-70's first 24 hours at home, all JPEG's straight from the camera (except for a bit of brightness/contrast adjustment on the shed photo). I picked up this body because my previous one crapped out, and needless to say I'm thrilled with the upgrade:
obligatory cat photos (because this is the internet!), K-70 + DA50 1.8:
K-70 + DA 50-200. Some day I'm going to need to paint this shed, and then what will I do for black/white/gray in sample shots?
K-70 + SMC-A 50mm Macro:

I hear you -- after finally picking up a Canonet, I've found that I like rangefinders in theory, but I'm just not in love with them in practice. Someone who will love & use it should have that beauty.

There's very little difference between your 18-55 and a 16-50 for the effect you want to get -- instead of new toys (and I know -- it's ALWAYS tempting to get new lenses!!) you should experiment with your exposure. For the soft-focus waterfall look, you'll need to use a slower shutter speed, and then balance that with a smaller aperture (Which is denoted by a larger number. Confusing at first, I know.)
There's no substitute for experimentation with this -- pick a day when you have time & good weather, take a tripod out to your favorite waterfall, and shoot a whole lot of shots, making adjustments as you go: In Tv mode, adjust your shutter speed and observe how the camera compensates by adjusting the aperture, then compare the results. You'll have a good day out, you'll learn a lot about how exposure works, and hopefully get some shots you like in the process.

I posted this one in the Film subforum the other day, but I figured it could use a wider audience.
