No, I wouldn't say it's rare.  I think it's a little more commonly seen
than its sibling, the A 28-135/4.

The A 35-105/3.5 is an excellent zoom, highly regarded here on the PDML.
Its build quality is high (which, of course, means that it's a heavy lens).
It is sharp and contrasty, as zoom lenses go.  It's so-called "macro"
unction is nothing to write home about, though (as in most so-called "macro
zooms").

I actually prefer the slightly greater versatility (a bit wider zoom range)
of the A 28-135/4, and I no longer have either of my A 35-105/3.5's (I did
have two of them at one time).

It ought to do very nicely on a Pentax DSLR, I would think.
