> DFA28-105/3.5-5.6 lens is just cheap walk-around lens for hiking, it IS NOT lens for any serious work that demands FF camera.

Unnecessary condescension. Stopped down as you have to for landscape use, there is no difference to the 24-70 in resolution. And in adverse weather, the longer range offers additional benefits.

It's an unexpectedly good lens for its price, a lens generally appreciated by its owners.

The only reason not to buy it is if you need/want a faster standard zoom. I'd have the D FA 28-105 and use it in combination with primes.

This lens is a home run for me, and probably the primary reason I got a K-1 in the first place. Although I'm not thrilled about the slow intro rate of new Pentax lenses, everything they have released over the past few years has been stellar, IMO.
