Re: Which two zooms?

[Andre Langevin]

Pat, I'll repeat what I learned lately: the F 70-210mm is both very 
good and affordable.  In the WA range, I don't know, as the very good 
24-90mm is probably too expensive.

Andre

I am looking for your recommendations for two zoom lenses covering the 28mm
to 200mm range approximately.  What are the better, yet affordable Pentax
zooms in that range?  Which ones should I avoid?  I will be using them on a
ZX-5N primarily so AF would be a plus.
Thanks

Pat Wunsch

 I don't know if it's the identical lens in K mount but there is
 a SMCP 85mm f1.8, which is exceedingly well thought of.  They
 always seem sell at a premium on e-bay regardless of described
 condition.
