For street roaming then the compact DA15 will come into its own. For architecture then I think the Pentax12-24. For landscape then my choice would be the 12-24 too, it is just such a useful range. I wouldn't have just the 15, I would want something around 24 too.
The DA12-28 should be out soon, I would hang back for a while

With a K5 you don't really need filters, every shot is rich looking like you used a polariser with sufficient dynamics for anyone really...
No doubt some will disagree, well just get over it I know what I see...

Just thought I'd share this one which was taken much earlier the same morning
1/20 sec f/4 ISO 2500 with the DA*300mm. 15 mins before sunrise. Life in the old K5 autofocus yet

About +30 in lightroom on the clarity slider, then a Grad to darken the sky then another upside down to lighten the foreground a bit but I could have given it a bit more there, I suppose, That's my trouble with B+W, I'm always a bit too conservative with the sliders...

Quite liked the compositions on most of em for once but I'm not the one to ask I suppose, as I rarely like any pictures I've taken!
Too dark? Not too good at B+W, Trying to learn it at the moment and have a hundred or so B+W on the website for alternative sales opportunities, so any advice processing B+W would be gladly received, I may put a thread out in the correct forum, to start a discussion...

Nice shots, I was walking up that road at Ullswater last week, but it was stotting down when I was there
If you can see the lake it's about to rain, if you can't it already is...

Or maybe "Same" as 645D means it's crap at high ISO's
