Heh, Brendan's 28-105 f2.8-4 makes lamp posts look like

Probably, yes.
I'm tempted to
replace it with a 28-105 internal-focussing (I just HATE that filter ring
turning). Have considered Pentax, Sigma, Tokina and Tamron.

Aspherical which I got with the camera. Photos seem to have less punch
(particularly when the sun isn't shining) than ones I took on an MZ-50 with
standard Pentax 28-70 lens.

John,
Obviously, you are concerned with quality. Surprise your self and get
any of the used single focal

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?
