The A24-50 is great, small and light and with a good "normal" range for aps digital (36-75mm equiv. w 35mm film)
I really like the K28/3.5 for 28mm The a70-210mm is a sleeper, images from that lens look almost/much like a top prime lens. I don't think there ever was a k28/2.8 lens, there is a m28/2.8 though... there is also A35-70/4 lens which has outstanding macro for a zoom and its usually cheap too, another sleeper. -- J.C.

[My camera is a *ist DS. My current lenses -- 50MM and 100MM macro -- are both M series.] A lenses . SMC Pentax A Series 28mm 2.8 [$170 and up on eBay.] . SMC Pentax A Series 24-50 F4 Zoom [$90 BGN and $115 EX at KEH.] . SMC Pentax A Series 35-80 F4-5.6 Zoom [$39 at KEH.] . SMC Pentax A Series 70-210mm Tele Zoom [Several in $150-$200 range on eBay.] K lenses . SMC Pentax ( K ) 28mm F3.5 [One at $170 on eBay.] . SMC Pentax ( K ) 28MM F2.8 [Extremely low bidding with two days to go on eBay.] What's with the lack of interest in it? There are lots of A series zooms. How do they compare to the fixed length A series. The 28mm 2.8 A interests me because it would give me exposure control on the camera body. The 28mm F3.5 K has been recommended, I believe by more than one person, already. How does the 28mm F2.8 K compare? Why aren't people bidding on it?
