This looks like veiling flare, a symptom of the Aspheric lens element
in the lens separating.
It certainly is not blooming :-( Sorry Patrice...
Thank you all for your opinion...
I'll probably consider a digital-optimized 18-80 or similar (don't know
yet which brand and model), not
You might want to look for the SMC Pentax F 35-70mm f3.5~4.5. Good
build and acceptable optics. They can be found in good contrition for
between $30-$50. Not a perfect solution, but not a bad stopgap.

Can you post a picture somewhere? While others have covered the
element separation angle, I an wondering if you are experiencing
digital blooming.

I tried to shoot some samples tonight (Tokina AF 19-35 vs Pentax FA
28-70), but could not reproduce the issue...
This looks like veiling flare, a symptom of the Aspheric lens element in
the lens separating. When it starts out it shows up primarily in bright
light. Eventually you will see it in every photo made with that lens.
You have my sincere condolences.

Hi all fellow Pentaxists.
I just got my new *ist DS (at a very good price BTW) and am very happy
with it, but I noticed today that my good old 28-70 f/4 AL produced soft
images. What I mean with soft, is more like a sharp image, with a kind
of halo around every contrasty detail... A bit like

That does sound like the separation others talk about. That's the bad
news. The good news is that you can now justify buying an FA28-105
f/3.2-4.5 (Around $200, if you can find one somewhere) or a DA16-45 f/4
(expensive, moderate size, but very nice). Me, I have both. ;)
