You can still do all that of course, and I do. But a starting point of a more balanced exposure gives greater flexibility to do all those things much better. The low iso performance of the K5 isn't anywhere near good enough yet imo to dispense with real grads. Please don't show me your squidthing.
Not enough.

I would think almost certainly.

Well in that case the 16-45 is a good upgrade from the kit lens. Otherwise a 12-24 or Siggy 10-20 plus a prime at 35, maybe the DA35Ltd as it gives you a macro option. All depends on budget really.

You can add a Raynox to the 55-300 for a pretty nifty macro option.

I would recommend the DA55-300 for wildlife, I would suggest supplementing it with an M28mm f3.5 for landscapes.
And not just because I will be selling both these lenses shortly.

The only particular characteristic I would look out for is a wide aperture, which allows for more experimentation still.
I think the 50mm f1.7 is as good a place to start as anywhere.
