About two weeks ago I saw an mf smcp-18mm f/3.5 packaged with a super program, 50mm and 28mm lenses all for about US$230, but i don't think you'll have much luck finding one. It was a great deal, but i don't have that kind of cash.

The last couple of weeks I've been contemplating my lens purchase/use philosophy. Right now I'm in a financial position to purchase cameras/lenses, this will change about 12 months from now. Right or wrong I want to equip myself with the cameras/lenses I'll be wanting/needing for the next couple of years, maybe even five years. This is why I'm planning to get the ist D to complement my ZX-L. Now to the hard part, what lenses do I want/need? I do basically all kinds of photography except for wild life. Right now I feel that I have it pretty well covered with 24, 35, 50, 100 macro & 70-210mm. The way I see it my first priority should be a 24-90 or a 200 prime? Also the is the focal length extension of the ist D to think about, in which case I'd want a 16 with regular filter threads, does anyone make one of these for k-mount? The closest that I've found is the MF Tokina 17 3.5. Ok, after all this rambling comes the real question. That focal lengths do you use, how much (%) and for what kind of photography?

Thanks for your patience
Paul
