To build on RioRico's points, if you make a choice to buy a few quality zooms, you can certainly achieve excellent IQ at the expense of physical size - not a bad tradeoff. But when you develop a collection of primes from different brands and eras as is eminently possible with a Pentax body, choosing a lens becomes more than just finding the appropriate focal length: Each lens has its idiosyncratic qualities that contribute to the mood of the shot. Being able to pick from my own DA, FA, A, M, Sigma, and Tamron primes has provided me a richer artistic experience than I could ever achieve with the best zooms that cover the same focal lengths.
