Greetings.
As far as the wide angle goes is it worth trying to hunt down a 24mm or is 28mm just as good?
Pentax used to make a 24-35 zoom. It's not fast and there is some distortion at wider angles but it is sublimely sharp. Should be available in "user" condition for about $70 - 100. I highly recommend it.
For your longer lens, you could try one of the "off brand" makers such as Tamron, Tokina or Sigma. They all made manual focus, ~f2.5, 90~105mm macro lenses that should be available for the same price. You get two competences (mild telephoto and macro) for the one price.
Good luck.
