It really depends on what you like to do, though, and what you find yourself wishing you've had. I go through spurts where I'll alternate between wide and long. Normally, I find myself craving a wider lens, however, I often find that after I've gone out and about, I would find a slightly longer reach much more efficent for my use, to the point where my next lens will be a toss up between the 45mm and 150mm 645 lenses. If I had to pick a week ago, I'd have said the 45. This week, I realize a 150 is a better choice. Unless I find a nice deal on the 135mm leaf shutter, that is... So, think about where you desire to go more often.. However, based on what you've currently got, perhaps 28mm is wide enough, but 100 is far too short, so you'll be best suited with the longer lens. Remember, though, the first DSLR you see (assuming, of course, you see any) from Pentax will have a focal multiplier with it. Your wide angle lenses won't seem so wide anymore, and your longs will go much further. If you're beginning to plan now, you may want to consider that. -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio.
