Achtually, there is - though being slightly shorter at the long end. That's Tamron's 28-300 lens, on the market since more than a decade.
Alas, that and other "super zoom" lenses' image quality does not come close to what the K-1 (or an APS-C camera with a higher pixelcount than, say, the Pentax *ist DS) can deliver.
A nice lens, and much better than the Tamron 24-135 mentioned some posts before is the old Pentax FA 24-90. That one, stopped down to f8 truly delivers and that even without any lens correction in Lightroom (which isn't available unless one creates a lens profile for that specific combination).
The Tamron in comparison is quite blurry and has rather noticeable color fringing.
