It's funny, because this is like the web search. Most of it is about
other stuff. I guess they just didn't sell many of these. For $85,
however, my curiosity is piqued.

normal to telephoto sounds pretty good. This was a great line about

Anybody know anything about this lens? I checked out Pentaxforums and

Pentax was late to create zooms, and quality suffered.

Yes, the 85-210/3.5 was one of the original zooms by Pentax in K-mount.
(It may have began life as a screw mount design??!)
But Pentax didn't make many K series zooms (35-70 and 85-210).
In the M series,there was the 40-80.
In the A series there were more, but still a limited number.

I had this lens many years ago.
I don't remember much specifics concerning image quality, but I never
had any complaints in that department.
I remember it was rather large and heavy for a lens in its range.
The only thing I didn't care for was it had a very far minimum focus distance.

Not according to Boz's site. The F 35-135 shares it's optical formula
with the A 35-135

Okay... question to all the lens gurus out there. I am
in need of a decent quality mid range zoom lens for
little league portraits. Therefore I need something
that can handle both team shots and indivuals. I had
been using my A 50 (or M 28 depending on space) for
the teams and a M 135
