I think the K-01 is the best bang for your buck and a £30 m 50mm 1.7 would be ideal, especially with a short extension tube to get close. Then spend the rest on lights (yongnuo and brolly with black cover or something similar).

BTW, K10D - great! beautiful rich colours without tweaking - ideal for food.

I use the '1' and the '2' for weddings. Nothing to compare them with, but they seem to work well.

If that wall is blown out, you could borrow some detail flipped over from the right hand wall

But my macro work itself didn't improve when I got a dedicated macro lens, as opposed to the previous extension tube set-ups. It just meant I could turn round with the macro lens and shoot a portrait or catch the dog doing something cute.
I'm finding the 35mm macro is a great walk-around lens. I assume the 50 which seems to be quite cheap, would be similarly versatile.

Or buy an old wide angle for a few quid (like a soligor 28mm) and get a lens reversing ring to either reverse it onto your body or onto the end of a longer lens.
I can't comment about wide angle.

I'm not saying it can't be creative; I'm saying you are immediately limiting your options. Food invariably requires careful lighting and dreamy DOF, two things the MX is not designed for.
