When I got it, a couple of months back, several other people on the list had it and recommended it. I also think it's better than the 28-70mm Pentax zoom that I have (which has serious fall off at 70mm when shooting somewhat closeup and somewhat wide open). $149 at Adorama. It's relatively new, so you probably can't find it used. HTH, Marnie aka Doe :-)
