I bought that cult lens (Kiron 28-210) and it has performed nicely in
initial tests. It is the only non-Pentax lens I own. I have the same lens
in a Nikon AI if anyone has a Nikon body they want to put to use. I no
longer own a Nikon body. But see my other post about camera lense
balance...

the most it is the 3.5/35-105 SMC Pentax-A. Best image quality of my Pentax
lenses (better than 1.7/50 M!) and very good build quality - but heavy.
