Well, for the great outdoors you need a real wide-angle prime: There's the 14 and 21 and 15 coming soon; I think the 21's a no-brainer because it's this teeny little pancake you can walk around with all day. Speaking of walking around, you might as well get the 40mm prime too, just can't beat it as a general-purpose tool. Then you'll need a real zoom... the 50-135 is probably the most general-purpose choice. Then a big honkin' telephoto but I've no advice there. -T We'll say you have a K10, the DA 50-200 & 18-55, a FA 28-105 > f3.2-4.5, and a FA 50 1.7 (there are some other manual focus lenses but > we're focusing on newer stuff).
