The closest thing to a Prime lens with 24mm AOV for the APS-C sensor
would be either the 15mm f4.0 or the 14mm f2.8 neither would be my
choice as a lens for someone on a budget. You might be able to get a
~30mm AOV by looking for a nice bargain grade 20mm A f2.8 at KEH.

I'm on a limited budget, looking for fairly lightweight travel

getting the 16-50 as a single lens does tempt me some.
My last good camera (stolen some time back& not yet replaced) was an
MX and on it, I used the 85/1.4 for at least 75% of shots and a 28 for
most others. I had the 40 mm pancake and a teleconverter, didn't use
either much. So this one will be a K-X with the 58/1.4 Voigtlander.
Comments on that choice appreciated too.
What I really want to know, though, is what can folks suggest as a
wide angle to go with that? Zeiss is beyond my budget and a 12-24 or
10-20 zoom too heavy. I need a good prime, around 24 mm, at a moderate
price. The Pentax 21/3.2 Limited and Sigma 24/1.8 are obvious
possibilities; either might suit but I'm not sure either is ideal for
me.
What else should I be considering? Checking Pentax's site, I don't see
a 24/2 or 24/2.8 among current offerings.
