You might want to look for the SMC Pentax F 35-70mm f3.5~4.5. Good
build and acceptable optics. They can be found in good contrition for
between $30-$50. Not a perfect solution, but not a bad stopgap.

It certainly is not blooming :-( Sorry Patrice...
Thank you all for your opinion...
I'll probably consider a digital-optimized 18-80 or similar (don't
know yet which brand and model), not necessarily compatible with my
MZ5n (as I have the Tokina 19-35 and a PTX 80-320), and a used M-50
1.4 that will fill the gap between 35 and 80mm and allow macro with
extension tubes.
Thank you again.
