I had one and used it for quite some time on the old *ist D and loved
the results. I've got a few nice scenics that I shot with it. One
thing I miss about Pentax DSLRs is that the low-end zooms like the FA
28-70/4 are far superior to the low-end glass available from Canon.

I have one of those, and have used it quite a while with the MX - until I got a
DS with 18~55 last year. It's still in the 35mm bag, and scheduled to a series
of trips to a rough area of the state.
Image quality is rather good, much better than Canon's 28~80, apart from a
serious barrel

I've got a KX and so far my most used lens is an A 35-70 F4. I'm quite
happy with
that. I also have DA 16-45 and screwmount 55/1.8, but 70% or more of shots use
the 35-70.
Looking at the reviews:
http://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/SMC-Pentax-FA-28-70-F4-Zoom-Lens.html
It appears the 28-70
The big drawback with the 28-70 is that it is prone to separation
of the rear element, which is effectively unrepairable.
I wouldn't buy one myself today; it would be too much of a gamble.
It may last for years, or it may fail in a couple of months.

It works very well. Here is a shot made with that lens on the K20D
