Hm. The only Kiron I've handled is the 28-70 I picked up off of eBay, and
that one leaves me cold...it feels cheesy, with significant slop in the
focusing and painted-on lettering instead of engraved. Then again, I did
have to pull the front off and clean a fair bit of grit out of the
grooves...

Did I just get a lemon, or do they vary a bit?
