stormdogI just scored these at my local thrift store.
The 70-210 is a constant aperture zoom that still has it's instrucion manual and dessicant package in the box. I don't think it was ever used. The price on the box says it lists at $300 and marked by the seller at $200.
The 28mm has an aperture of 2.8, which is pretty damned fast. (Though I have a 50mm 1.8 for my Canon that sometimes makes me feel like I can shoot in the dark.) On a crop-sensor camera (like my Pentax K100), that should be a really good indoor event lens for things like conventions or any kind of impromptu pictures. It's missing its front lens cap and has a fingerprint on the glass, but is in really nice shape other than that. No price on that box.
Both lenses have their styrofoam packing inserts too and are labeled "Joseph B. Dahlkemper Co., Inc," which seems to have been a discount retailer of goods that declared bankruptcy in PA in 1994.

With that plus my 400mm prime, I basically have a whole kit of long, short, and walk-around zoom for my grandpa's Pentax now!
