I've notice the same thing. I go with three lenses: 20-35 50 1.4 100 2.8 or 135 2.5 or Sigma 100-300 DL
I prefer the 100 or 135, but sometimes I need the reach of the zoom. I've considered a 70-200 or something like that, maybe the Tokina. The Pentax ones are too cheap or way too expensive (and heavy). Either way, I still seem to like the 3 lens approach: wide, normal and fast, long.

I jump from 55mm to 105mm (beautiful little SMC Takumar f/2.8...) and up. I think I'll start reviewing the reports on which is recommended and go looking for one! Unless there are recommendations from the list... Thanks, Clive! keith whaley
