You could, of course, experiment for yourself to investigate different focal lengths. E.g. Go to a typical landscape location, set your zoom to 50 mm and take a set of images; then repeat at 35 mm (and/or other focal lengths). Study the results and see which field-of-view appeals to you most, as a choice for a prime lens; or you might find that you prefer the versatility of a good zoom lens.

Mono IR images like these are wonderful. From this selection I would pick the mini-series: 1, 8, and 10 as my favourites.

I'm only on my phone at present and number 2 is the one that stands out for me.
Thanks for the lens info but, after a quick scan through it, I didn't notice why it is called Hollywood.

Well done, Peter.

When it's working, the F 35-70 lens seems to have lightning fast AF, and it gives good results.

Enjoy!

The pentax heritage in Macro lenses is excellent, in 50's, 100's and 200's (and of course the DA35) - I don't think I've encountered any that are anything but superb!

These are a great illustration of the versatility of the 50's on full-frame - nice shooting
I don't have the K-1, but my favourite and most used prime on APS-C is my DA 35mm Limited, although I don't do macro (yet). For use as a versatile standard lens in the way Rob has used the 50 here, the image quality is superb.
