I don't think it was ever sold as in a "kit".

Just grabbed a FA 28-70mm f/4 off of that auction site.
It belonged to a former list member (I think) Gary Murphy.
I've been reading comments for this lens from Stan's site and it's been getting good reviews. Any other comments you guys want to add?
Can't wait to try it out.
I think you'll love the lens. I really liked mine, until I eventually decided I needed a little more reach, eventually buying a 28-105 in its place. Of course that was back in film days. But even with digital the 28-70 f/4 ought to be a pretty good lens.
If you put a filter on it, make sure it's a good one. I had a cheap UV on mine and noticed some blooming in bright light. I switched to a nicer Hoya Multi Coated UV, and the blooming issue went away. It's a very sharp lens, especially considering that it's not one of the more expensive ones out there. It's definately the best AF "kit" zoom Pentax ever made.
