At least there are two Vivitar zoom 70/150 F/3,8 lenses

One, made by Kiron (lens N° 22xxxx)

The other made by Tokina (Lens N° 37xxxxx)

See https://www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/vivitar-70-150mm-f3-8-2x-tc-kiron-70-150mm-f3-8.html

Wich is the best of both?

The Tokina seems to be the older

You should probably also throw the https://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/SMC-Pentax-M-75-150mm-F4-Zoom-Lens.html and the http://www.techtheman.com/2011/04/tamron-70-150mm-f35-adaptall-2-20a.html into the equation

Thank you D1N0,

I know the Pentax as a very good lens, of course, but doesn't common in my country (Uruguay - Argentina)

The Tamron I can catch is the Auto Tamrom Zoom 70/150 F/3,8 BBAR Multi C, 52 MM filter, two touch (very similar to the Vivitar two touch version). And my references about it doesn't be so good as the vivitar (Kiron two touch lens)

The Kiron/Vivitar two touch zoom is very good. I haven't used the Tokina.
Another to consider is the Canon FDn 70-150 f4.5.
It is excellent - and usually cheap

I had the Canon. Great lens. But very long.

I'm looking for one more compact.

Btw, the konica 70/150 is a kiron lens, althought almost all zoom lenses for konica were made by Tokina.
