Seems like it will be a nice walkaround lens for the istD.

Of course. And you'll be spammed with the occasional PESO taken with it, too.

Only 2 things to say about this zoom IMO:
* The focus ring has a soft touch, too easy to turn, a bit like AF ones
(but still way more confortable)
* It has a very nice macro feature at 70mm :) Very handy on a little
zoom like this one.

I'd say that the build of the A 35-70/4 is adequate,
The build of the A 35-70 may seem a little plastic,
but mine, hard used, has not shown any tendency to creep.
The focus feels less damped than an older prime, but
it is consistent in feel and not at all bad. As to
image quality, I find it quite acceptable (wide open) to
good at 8x10.

The A 35-70/4 is a very good lens but feels rather cheap.
I have the F 35-70/3.5-4.5 and am rather pleased with it.
Not as sharp as the 28-70 though.
I am trying to obtain parts from Pentax to fix the
28-70, I'll let you know what I find out.

Please do. It seems like it can be had used for well under $100
anyway, so I wonder how much cheaper it would be to fix it.
