The FA28-70/4 is pretty cheap and is an excellent performer, is has a
constant aperture too.

> Up till now I used the LX and Pentax prime lenses, favorits are FA24mm F2
and the M100mm macro 4.0,
> when weigth is no problem I also take the K35/2 and K135/2.5 with me
> I Like them for there sturdy build, and am satisfied with the optical
quality.

> Most of the time I can anticipate on the situation and choose the right
(prime)lens
> But, sometimes it takes just too much time to change lenses, autofocus and
a zoom lenses are handy,

> Since I own a nice range of lenses I will stay with Pentax. Else I would
have bought a Nikon F100 + 24~85/F 2.8~4

> Well I did bought the MZ-S but the 24-90 mm did not felt solid at all. It
is said that the optics are quit good.

> My mind is circling around the FA 28 - 70 F2.8 / Tokina 28-70/80 F2.8 or
sigma 24/28-70 F2.8
> or should I be more carefull and opt for the FA24~90 3.5 ~4.5, FA28~105
4.0~5.6 or Tamron 24~135 3.5~5.6

> The best would be 24 ~ 135 with speed of 1.4 and only 200 grams but thats
not possible
>
> Is the FA28-70F2.8 optical still the best I can get or is it
oldfashioned?
