Haha, yes. My most used lens is my Sig 24-70, which is no lightweight itself, but the 28-135 weighs in at about double that!

It's a heavy beast though, isn't it?
A good zoom lens for its day, but I would expect modern zooms to be better.

G'day, first post newbie here and all that, so hello firstly
Through good luck and nefarious means, I'm now the keeper of an Pentax-A 28-135 f/4 lens. It has a bit of dust internally, and I'm thinking of taking in to the Sydney Pentax service people for a clean up, but to date I've been able to find virtually no information/feedback on the lens.
It seems to me to be a good zoom range to use for a walkabout lens, and the constant f/4 is also a good thing..
Anyone out there who might have used / seen / heard anything about this one?

There is a w/site in the US sell two of these critters, one at 325 and one at 475 (USD)- both are in better condition that the one I picked up, but I can see the value in it as a use lens, but I think that it might gather some historical value over time as well.

Heres a bit of info on that lens of yours.

I gather from what you are saying about the lens that you are sending it to Kennedy's for a service. : I hope you have a thick wallet. He charges ridiculous prices
