For people who know Pentax Digital SLRs.?

I'm virtually brand new to Digital and Film SLRs, but I was hoping to dig a bit deeper into my photography. I put up a question involving what type of Canon or Nikon I might be able to use to take pictures of a few things, but I was pointed in the direction of Pentax instead.

In order to take pictures of the following, what types of lenses should I get?
-Aquarium pictures
-Small and large wildlife from far away and close up
-Pictures during the day and at night, in bright reflective light and in shadow
-Photos of people modelling

If I can find lenses that are compatible with the K-30, I'd be more likely to get more than one. Someone suggested I stay away from zooming lenses, so these were what I had my eye on so far:

-smc PENTAX DA 35mm F2.4AL
-smc PENTAX DA 50mm f/1.8
-smcP D-FA 50mm f2.8 Macro
-PENTAX 06 TELEPHOTO ZOOM

These are rather expensive, so if all I need are the 35, 50, and telephoto lens--then I can probably afford them all now, but I want to do this right.So if people think I should do the 35, 50, and macro lenses, then I will.
Added (1). That would be why I re-iterated the question in a fresh post. :3

I'm BRAND new to even semi-professional photography, so please bring this kind of thing to my attention.

I can nix the 35, 50 and telephoto, which leaves me with the macro. That's fine. I'll look into a 300mm lens that's good for wildlife, preferably with a zoom.

As for prices, yes I have compared things. I'm in so far over my head with all of these different specifications and what they do and what I need and what I don't, that I just want to find something a little better than a beginner's DSLR for me to take these kinds of photos with.

Looks like I shouldn't even bother with trying to set a price range until I take a class or something. These are so far beyond anything I understand.
Added (2). If the smcP D-FA 50mm f2.8 Macro is a better choice than the rest and I need a 300mm, it's already going to be huge. Will the smc Pentax DA 55-300mm f/4-5.8 ED work? As far as anything else I need (like for super close-up work right up against aquariums and such to get good photos of smaller fishes), do you have any suggestions?

How to fix the shutter on my Nikon EM film camera?

I have just put in a new film. I am advancing it so it will start taking pictures. However, whenever I press the shutter release button the shutter closes to reveal blackness in the eyepiece and will not open until I take off the lense and press the metal bar to fix it.Is the camera broken or is there a way to fix this?

Also the batteries are new.

Should I sell my 18-55mm and 55-200mm lenses and purchase an 18-200mm lens?

I have the 18-55mm kit lens that came with my camera, as well as a 55-200mm lens I got as a gift one year. I know that Nikon sells an 18-200mm lens. I was wondering if I would be better selling my two lenses and purchasing this single lens that combines the two zoom lengths. I find it somewhat inconvenient having to switch between lenses when I want to take a shot of something far away, and then wanting a wide angle of the scenery or something like that.
So I was just wondering if selling those other two lenses and buying the one would be worth the effort?

Nikon Digital Camera?

I am looking for a Nikon that:
-Has a great, clear, powerful zoom (without extra lenses)
-Takes incredible pictures
-Isn't too too clunky/heavy
-Costs less than $450 (even if used before and in excellent condition)
-Is great for travel
-Can take videos

Any recommendations/suggestions?

Is Ordering Electronics on Amazon safe?

So I'm planning to buy Nikon D3200 from amazon and I'm just afraid of it will be damaged due many factors (careless mailman etc). Does any of you guys purchased something similar to a DSLR camera (fragility wise) that had problems with due to delivery damages?

Thanks in advance
