Hi Alan, Long ago I resolved that I would bear the weight of any lens that helped me produce the results I wanted. <big grin> The SMC-A 28-135/4 did not last long in my outfit, because I had to draw the line at holding a heavy lens that had such severe rectilinear distortion. <heavy frown> >Other lenses you might consider included SMC-A 35-105/3.5 & Tamron SP 28-75/2.8. I have no experience of the Tamron but the SMC-A 35-105/3.5 is definitely my favourite zoom. Sharp, with very low distortion and excellent bokeh, it is (to me) the zoom lens that every Pentax user should own and use, use, use ... this is a *very happy* lens!! John
