It was one of the first, if not the first, lens I bought for my
K100. I picked it up at B&H for a lot less than I expected. After I
got my 18-250, I was having problems with the
For this exact same situation, I like the analog of a 28-90 for 35mm.
I'll give up the reach for the weight reduction. I bet I could live
with just a 18-55 kit zoom for walk around snaps.

It's the lens I used every day until I got the DA* 60-250 for my dog
park work.
My only complaint was that it didn't focus as well at 250mm, because
it had gone to ƒ6.7. But that was overcome by using 400 and 800 ISO
when in shade or cloudy days.

on EBay. I haven't regretted the purchase.
Maybe a bit short on the long end for what you want but as a 'go
