In 135 terms, these would be 36mm, 42mm and 202.5mm, none of which seem overly exciting to me (35mm, 43mm, 200mm)
Would you buy lenses of those particular lengths? Or, to put it another way, when (if) you used film, did you buy those lenses?
Where are the gaps?

Went out yesterday morning with the K-7, came back to find I had shot virtually everything at ISO 3200
Actually they weren't THAT bad (grain wise) .. as for the content well that's another thing entirely.
*At that stage my K20 was about a month old, so I was still in the "ooh new shiny thing, must press buttons" stage

To me, any halfway decent new AF prime for £150-£180 is a good deal. I've seen used F 50mm f1.7s priced higher than that!

What Pentax really need are much faster SDMs. There's no point in the camera getting the focus faster if the lens can't keep up.

It's been bugging me all day, this lens is being called a KIT/STANDARD lens.

I don't really see what that blog's point is about it being similar to the 35mm f2. That's a very well-regarded lens, and Pentax are offering what APS-C cameras need here - a cheap, standard focal length prime. I don't think any of the competitors offer such a thing?

But top of my list is a weather-sealed moderate wide, ideally 24mm f/1.8 WR. A great street lens for, in my opinion, the best street DSLR yet made - K7.
