The f4-5.6 for $357 is the power zoom lens.  It is very well made and
reported by others on this list as very sharp.  The f4-5.6 for $189 is a
Tamron barrel with Pentax glass.  Sharp and well built for the price, but
not quite as good as the PZ.  The f3.2-4.5 is the newest design from Pentax.
Unfortunately I have not had my hands on this one yet.  I hope I have
helped.

Subject: Which 28-105?


I was just browsing B&H's site pricing the popular Pentax 28-105 zoom.
But wait, there's three of them:


Price: $ 199.95
Zoom Wide Angle SMCP-FA 28-105mm f/3.2-4.5 AL IF Autofocus Lens


Price: $ 357.00
Zoom Wide Angle SMCP-FA 28-105mm f/4-5.6 Autofocus Lens


Price: $ 189.95
Silver Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto SMCP-FA 28-105mm f/4-5.6 IF Autofocus


What is the difference in quality between these three?  I'm confuscated
now....
