Keith, I find myself using the FA 28-105 as my walkabout lens most of the time. I have a 35-135 (non-Pentax) also, and I will pick the latter in circumstances where I know the subject is always going to need more reach, and an 18-35 for tight situations (I do have primes as well, of course!)
The 28-105 is certainly of good enough quality for most use.
