To all, Thanks for the replies. I wasn't aware that the K28/3.5 was such a cult lens. I only found information about it's M-brother. I bought the M28/2.8 (not the 3.5) when it was new. I find the M a dull performer, nothing special. Now searching for the 35. Although Pentax-prices are lower over here then in the US, they are also quit rare.
How is the K135/3.5 compared with the SMCK135/2.5 I also have. I find that one a nice performer, mayby a bit on the large side, but as good a performer as my Leica Elmarit 2.8/135 (and that one is really heavy)I have for my Leica M6.

Probably not noticeably so when using standard colour negative film. The 28 is a different story. This lens is one of Pentax's great lenses that has been equalled but not really noticeably surpassed. It has a fat field and almost no distortion - that is not an easy feat! Try and find 35 SMC Pentax f3.5 (not M) to go with it.
