I'll second that, Fred. I bought the Pentax-A 35-70 f4 for use on my
LX, and it is a really nice piece of workmanship, although a bit heavy
(balances fine though). Takes sharp photos and the macro is pretty
good too - I think it goes down almost to 2:1.

I'm not familiar with that particular Pentax zoom, Margus, but your
"not
some Sigma or Tokina" comment got my attention - there ~are~ some good
Tokina zooms, you know - <g> - (in the "normal range" zoom, the ATX
35-70/2.8
comes to mind, for example).
If the A 35-80/4-5.6 doesn't work out for you, you might keep your eyes
open for an A 35-70/4, which is also a neat (and compact) "normal
range"
zoom, too, with a very good macro function.
