When needing glass in this focal range, I usually grab my Vivitar Seres 1, 28-90 lens. But, I've found the Kiron 28-105 to be quite a splendid performer. I actually prefer it over the excellent Kiron 28-85 lens.

I have this lens also but rarely use it.
Maybe I should pass it along.

This is one of my Favorites from you Russ.

One of your favorites of mine? Have you seen much of much of my stuff? (nothing special). If you want to pass yours along, I know of someone that would love it. What are you now using in this focal range? The Vivitar Series 1, 28-105 (Cosina made) is faster, but not as good. In the auto-focus glass, the Nikon 28-105 is quite good too.
Kiron 28-105 snap.
Thanks for the compliment. 
Russ

The tulip girl is great it's a perfect moment.
If I go zoomy it's the Kiron28-90 in manual focus. Usually just mount a prime and stick with it unless it's AF.

In this focal length, I have a Yashica ML 35-105/3.5-4.5 Macro lens, which is quite good. Of course, it starts at 35mm and has a separate macro focusing ring, but its optical performance is quite alright for an old zoom. That Yashica was presumably made by Tokina (as well as its Olympus counterpart).

I have often seen the Kiron 28-105 compared favorably to the Vivitar S1 28-90. Never used the Kiron, but if it's as good as the Vivitar, it's definitely a keeper. Having that extra 15mm on the top end is nice for a little more flexibility with portraits as well.

Russ,Very nice captures! The Kiron 28-105 is indeed a good lens and is as capable as the Vivitar S1 28-90.
The other day I shot Crocus with a wide variety of lenses.
Most of the five species of Crocus and many subspecies of the true autumn crocus,flower in September to November in the northern hemisphere.Some however flower into February.
