Subject: Bargain Pentax "People" zoom for crop sensors
Reading the lens reviews in Pentax forums, I came across an interesting
lens I just had to buy as
the cost is absurdly low (under $45 shipped ). It also has the
distinction
of being the smallest
zoom lens Pen
Been using one for over 30 years and I really enjoy its versatility.

are you talking about the smc pentax A 35-105 F3.5? that lens is
outstanding but its big and
heavy and built like a tank but has no AF. otherwise the smc F 35-105 is a
f4-F5.6 lens that
is slower than the smc-F 35-70 F3.5-4.5.

I have the 35-70 & like it, but later got the 35-105 F3.5 which is
even better. Heavier & a bit more expensive, but faster, a wider zoom
range, & really solid construction. I have a few other lenses but find
I use almost exclusively the 21mm & the 35-105.

well, mine is in nice shape. Keh had one for less in ugly condition but I

yes, it seems the build quality went down in general with each new lens
series but there were
exceptions along the way of course.

I've been using one for years, it's pretty good for a compact standard
zoom. My only issue with it is it seems downright cheap, (build quality
that is), compared to it's stablemate the F 70-210 f4.0~5.6. IIRC I
paid $35 US for my copy, but I've seen the at KEH for 10 dollars less,

OK, the 35-105 is a great performer too, but what makes this 35-70 so much
fun is
how tiny it is and the tiny price they sell for, great value.
