Buy new and enjoy the long warranty on a lens which has not been misused.
You only need to tap the filter ring on a certain competitors 18-55mm kit lens, and it will cause all sorts of problems.

I also have a 50mm f1.4M series lens which I bought on the cheap as it had some fungus on the internal surfaces of most of the elements. I cleaned it out and it's clearer than my "mint" example now.
The last time I had a go was in 1997 and I used a 50mm f1.7 on an ME Super with good results. I used Fuji 400 ASA slide film and pushed it to 1600.

I do wish Pentax would do away with the af-s/af-c/mf switch altogether and do it through the quick menu displayed on the rear screen like Canon. It really is so much less fiddly

I am also considering the 50mm f1.8 but I already have an SMC-M 50mm f1.7 and SMC-M 50mm f1.4.
It would be nice to have an AF 50mm but I'm not sure whether the IQ will be any better.
Anyway, I'd go for the 35 and the 50 if I were you, you should be really impressed.
