What to purchase with a K100D?

[c2500]

I am finally going to buy a K100D. I am trying to decide if I should just buy

the body and use my assorted lenses, or to get the kit lens. I know there is

usually a debate on this with everyone here, so let me mention the lenses I

own.

 

Pentax 80-200 FA 4.7-5.6,

Pentax 28-90 FA 3.5-5.6,

Pentax 100-300 FA 4.5-5.6,

Pentax 50 F1.7,

Pentax 35-80 F4-5.6,

Quantaray AF 28-90 F 3.5,

Sigma AF 35-70 F 3.5-4.5

 

I also have several A (50 f2.0 and 50 f1.7 135 f2.8)and M lenses (28, 50, 135,

150) and a Zenitar Fisheye.

This is a hobby for me so I have no specific thing that I am trying to

photograph. More than likely will be used on vacation/weekend get-aways and

the occasional party.

 

I can swing one extra lens or maybe flash, so I am open to any and all

suggestions.

 

Thanks,

 

Oscar

You're missing a wide. 16-45/4.

Oh, get the kit lens too. It is a very good wide zoom, and it is very inexpensive. Then, add the 21mm and 43mm Limited lenses as well, to round out your fine assembly. These compact wonders with your compact camera body will give you a most unique Pentax experience.

Either get the K100D with the DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens for an additional $50-75 and the DA 16-45mm f/4.0 for just over $250 after $100 rebate. It's good you have the Zenitar 16mm FE, I have it too, but now that I have the DA 16-45mm, I'm using it far less. But the DA 18-55mm isn't bad at all either, it's just no DA 16-45mm. ;)

I'd recommend the new DA* 16-50mm f/2.8 as well, but then I'd recommend you get a K10D instead for a weather-resistant, SDM driven solution. If you're going with the K100D, save your money and just grab the DA 16-45mm, or just stick with the DA 18-55mm.
