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

Well, it looks like you are absolutely satisfied with your current body (K-50) when you use one of the best Pentax lenses, DA35/2.8 Ltd. So, you don't need another body, you need another such a good lens. And here is the problem. There are no cheap zoom lenses with, at least close (in any case the same) IQ. The closest might be DA 20-40, but it is the most expensive. So, you might better look for additional, non expensive fixed point lenses. One of them is DA50/1.8. But to go below 35mm, there are not so many options. There is still one pretty good (I have it) zoom lens, which can be found cheap (as used of course). It is DA16-45/4. That would be my recommendation.
