If you could only have one prime...

I bought my sister a K50 and i might be keeping this Pentax K10D.  Though i dont need it because I have a Sony A77 that i do really love -- i like the idea of having a cheap and rugged pentax body that i can bring with me and not worry about what happens too it.

Top of my list right now is the Pentax FA 50mm F2.8 macro or an older sigma 30mm F1.4.  I like the 30mm because because its faster and i could use it for everything from landscapes to portraits.  I like the 50mm macro because it gives me something i dont have with my Sony already and its suppose to be one of pentax sharpest lenses.

I guess i wouldnt rule out a sigma 17-70mm zoom F2.8-F4 either, but ive been having issues with autofocus and with pentax debug mode i can only choose one setting for the whole zoom range.
