Re: New camera, or a new lens? Help...

The next logical step would be to buy a prime lens. Either 35mm or 50mm. If you want autofocus, you can have Pentax plastic fantastic 35mm f2.4 or 50mm f1.8. This will introduce you to shallow depth of field photography. You could make nice portraits with both. Or you could buy some older manual glass and learn to focus manualy.
