Supposedly it's the second version. However from most accounts the only reason to get the Pentax over the Tamron is the SMC. OTOH, the later versions of the Tamron are more compact and are supposed to be somewhat sharper.

It has been suggested that the FA 28-200/3.8-5.6 is actually a Tamron lens.
However, there seem to be several Tamron 28-200/3.8-5.6 models.  Does
anyone know if the Pentax lens is indeed a Tamron lens?  And, if so, which
specific Tamron 28-200/3.8-5.6 is its sibling?  Thanks.
