It's a little lighter than my SMC Pentax-FA 1:4 28-70mm AL.
The feel is about the same, when I use them on manual focus on my M-Series bodies. . .
Or, you might check out Vivitar's 28-70mm 1:3.5-4.8 MC Macro-focusing zoom.
This IS a one-touch, and has a heavier feel to it, more like the older Pentax lenses.
Don't know if that helps you or not. . .

There have been manual focus two-touch zooms made. The Pentax A 35-70 f4, etc. What I really want is a variable aperature manual focus Pentax lens without the F/FA "feel" or the bulk of the A 70-210. Sigh

I thought that historically One Touch and MF are almost one and the same. If the issue with One Touch is creep, the Kiron has a zoom and focus lock. In any case, unless the F is the one that is too expensive, it is reasonably short, relatively close-focusing and two touch. Would flare-resistance go into your equation? Because then, in principle, you are really limited in choice ;-) Have you checked Stan's page for reviews of the post-F zooms?
Interested, Kostas
