...and the range is quite usable on APS-C as you so nicely show. For years, I shot 70-150 on 35mm film and have thought that a similar FOV on the long end for APS-C would be very nice. A normal-to-moderate tele zoom for APS-C is sort of a no-brainer in some ways. If I did not already have the range covered, I would seriously consider the 28-105 for my K-3.

Or perhaps somewhat better if comparing a K-1 crop capture to your camera's output, both at moderate ISO. Of course, for travel photos of the family either would be gross overkill.

I removed the offensive language. It will be interesting to see uses other than family vacation photos.

I just shook my head when I read the original post. The 28-105 is a very capable optic and is price-competitive to the APS-C lenses suggested at a weight that not unreasonable for a 3.75X zoom. I would expect there are many reasons other than family travel photos to own this lens*, though it may well be that now might be the time to begin discussions of Norwegian brown cheese and Inuit Igunaq and the destruction of Tokyo as in this PF classic thread:

* Use the somewhat heavier Sigma 17-70/2.8-4 (C) as walkaround on my K-3. The heft factor is close to that of the K-1 + D FA 28-105, but I don't mind.

Perhaps if the intent was not as part of a travel kit or if the intent of travel was photography other than snapshots. To be honest, if my intent is to make family memories only, I leave the camera at home. The phone cam does an excellent job for casual work.
