There were quite a few 28-80ish macro-zooms made.
I have three with A mode:
Vivitar 28-105/3.5-4.5 will do 1:5 "Macro" at 105mm. It is a push-pull zoom with a very short focus-throw. Required flange-removal for DSLR use. IQ isn't bad. 72mm filter thread.
Takumar-A Zoom 28-80mm/3.5-4.5 has "Macro" at 80mm. Of the three, this is my favorite for quickly zooming & focusing when using a motor drive. IQ is good. 58mm filter thread.
SMC Pentax-A 35-105/3.5 has its "Macro" mode available at all focal lengths. It provides the greatest IQ among these three and is the heaviest. 67mm filter thread.
Good luck in your quest.
