That is an impressive quiver of zooms you have there. At some point, you might want to thin a few out, but finding various primes as replacements is sort of hard for me to wrap my mind around. My suggestion would be to keep the zooms you use and augment those with primes that have particular strengths and/or rendering that you like. FWIW, my active kit for the K-3 at present has two zooms (Sigma 17-70 C and an old Tamron 70-150) and one or more of the following primes (the actual collection of lenses in the bag is rather fluid):- Rokinon 8/3.5 Fisheye (rarely, for when I really want a fisheye)
- MC Zenitar 16/2.8 Fisheye (often, for use as a general purpose ultrawide)
- Pentax-FA 35/2 (always in bag)
- Pentax-M 50/1.7 -or-
Pentax DA 50/1.8 (rarely) -or
Helios 44M 58/2 (often) -or-
some other fast 50 (I have a few) - Pentax-FA 77/1.8 Limited (often)
- Sigma 50/2.8 EX DG Macro (if flowers or other small stuff is anticipated)
Most of the rest of my lenses sit sadly on the shelf :(
