There are two that I know of that fit that bill. The Pentax DA 17-70mm
f4.0 (reviewed at photozone
<http://www.photozone.de/pentax/408-pentax_1770_4> ), and the Sigma
17-70mm f2.8~4.5, (also reviewed at photozone
<http://www.photozone.de/pentax/147-sigma-af-17-70mm-f28-45-dc-pentax-k-review--test-report>).
I've been looking for a good price on one for some time. The Pentax is
about $490.00 at B&H Photo and the Sigma for K mount is about twenty
dollars less at Adorama. It's probably best if you read the reviews
yourself. I know someone on the list has used the Pentax so they'll
probably chime in.

Hello
I've re-subscribed here after a couple of years away. I would
appreciate any input from you.
I'm looking to replace 2 lenses with 1, for simplicity. I'm doing a
lot of shooting at construction projects and I don't like to change
lenses with lots of sawdust, dirt, etc. flying around.
I am currently using a Pentax FA28-70 f4 and a Sigma 17-35 F2.8. I
would like to get a single lens that covers this same range;
17-70-ish. I'd like something a bit better than the consumer-grade
and hopefully in the $300 to $400 range. What suggestions can you
give me?
Many thanks,
Tony
