with the Ricoh
do you need to worry about this:
" The infamous "Ricoh pin". Where Pentax created the "KA" mount in order to support Program and Tv exposure automation, Ricoh had to create their own variant, which has a protruding pin placed in a somewhat unfortunate location, namely in the exact spot where Pentax years later placed the autofocus drive shaft. Such a Ricoh lens will get stuck when mounted on a Pentax autofocus body - the Ricoh pin will get lodged in the drive shaft and prevent the lens from being removed without deployment of finesse, patience and tools.

Since you are from the US, I recommend you do some experimenting ( if you don't mind the cost )
I have had good result in renting lenses from Lensrental.com
[ there are other companies which rent lenses as well ]
if you rent a lens you can find out what you like or dislike
( if you do rent, get the maximum protection plan offered )
then if you find something you like, you can start looking for a good price, whether new or " experienced "
I have had good luck buying from members here in the market place
______________________
do you use a FF or APS-C camera
if the APS-C, then you may want to look at something below your 35mm lens
whether it is an ultrawide ( not my cup of tea )
or something like the DA 16-85mm zoom
or a 15mm or 21mm prime
