I have the A version of this lens, which was released at the same time (in the mid-nineties). A lens I would feel guilty even giving it to someone else.
Other lenses that I have but aren't worth the trouble of selling:
Pentax M 50/2: Not a bad lens, but rather uninspiring, with mediocre contrast and lacking the vivid Pentax colors that are usually found in most SMC primes.
Pentax DA 18-55 I: Better than the A 35-80, but outclassed by nearly every other lens that I own, and badly outclassed by the lenses I normally use.
Vivitar 80-200/4.5: Not as bad as one would expect considering the price it goes for nowadays. But it suffers from severe zoom creep (always has, and I'm the original owner), and is difficult to attain focus with (and you really have to nail the focus even to get average results from it).
