I did find a 16-45, but they were asking over $300 for it. I'd have to
get really lucky (and smart) over the next month to be able to get that
one. I bet it is a really nice lens, though.

Walt, but that puts you near a 50 mm and I think you would want
something wider. See if you can find the 16-45 lens..Joe
Thank you, Joe.
I'm making a list and checking prices and availability.
So far, I've found an SMC-M 28/2.8 for $45 at KEH. Don't know much
about the lens, but assume it's got to be better than the Takumar I
have.

Walt, The 16-45 Pentax lens is not bad and could gotten pretty
cheap. If you could find a 18mm Pentax lens cheap, you might like
it. On the more money front there is a Simga 18 to 50 F2,8 Macro
which is nice and then there is the Simga 10mm to 20mm F3.5 which is
also nice. I have them all and like them.
Good Luck in your search..Joe
. . . and give me your thoughts.
Say you're going to be leaving for the Black Hills of South Dakota
in a little over a month and have an extremely limited budget. I'm
quite literally saving up the quarters from my tips (along with
everything else that I can) to finance it. But, you want to make
sure that you get some images worthy of the trip.
I'll be taking all of my camera bodies with me -- K-x, K20D, K100D
Super -- and plan to use my Promaster 70-300 as a zoom, at least
one of my 50mm primes, and I'd like to have something wider for
landscapes. I have a Takumar 28/2.8, but it's really a pretty
crappy lens compared to the others.
What would be the best, most affordable option -- best bang for the
lowest buck -- for the wider landscapes? All I really care about is
the focal length and IQ -- everything else is mere window dressing
as far as I'm concerned. I'm essentially looking for something very
common and highly regarded.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
