Dan, not sure if you're if looking for a single walk around lens or one to
add to your kit.
For me when I take my K-3 out with me I always carry along several lenses -
28-80 F (sometime replaced with a 16-50DA*), 70-210 F, 200 A* macro, 300mm
AF and a 1.4 converter. I could probably leave the 200 behind on most
outings.
Always looking for less weight and sometimes I leave all but the K-3 and one
lens in the car within close proximity to where I'm shooting.

Subject: Lens purchase advice
OK, if I do acquire a "new to me" K-5II or IIs, I should get a good
fixed focal length lens to go with it. Currently, I use the 18-135
zoom, the 100mm f2.8 macro and the DA 50mm f1.8 with my K-r.
I was looking at the 21mm f3.2 DA AL Limited, the 35mm f2.8 macro
limited and the 40mm f2.8 DA limited. Which have people here found
the most useful and versatile? Which (if any) do you prefer for image
quality?
I am concerned that the 40 might be too close to the 50 I use now. Is
it significantly better in image quality?
I have the 100 macro; will the 35 macro allow me to do things I can't
with the 100? I know the 35 limited is a lot more modern, but I
really have no complaints about the 100 macro, aside from the shaky
hand behind the lens.
Any thoughts and recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
