The following Pentax zooms will fit your budget and are highly regarded: FA 28-70 f4 FA Power Zoom 28-105 f4-5.6 (but try it first, as it is a heavy lens, some feel too heavy on an MZ/ZX body) FA 24-90 (new, and every zoom user seems to want one)
You might also look for: FA 28-105 f3.2-4.5? (This is new, and not yet available in the U.S. so I can't give you a review. There's also an FA 28-105 made by Tamron. Avoid that. You'll know the Tamron by the 62 mm. filter thread. The new Pentax has a 58 mm. thread.) Some of these might be available used from KEH. Joe - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
