> I do like it because of its fixed f/4 aperture (easier when you go > by the sunny f/16 rule) and its macro mode (1:4 if I remember).
Even ~better~ than you remember: The macro mode in the A 35-70/4 goes all the way to 1:2.7, focusing down to 0.25 meters (10 inches) at its 70mm FL. It ~really~ is an unusual "macro zoom" in that its "macro mode" (or close-focusing function, actually) is really quite good. See: http://phred.org/pentax/lensgal/ .
