An appealing standard zoom is IMHO the first thing to start with. Regardless of the optical quality of the actual zoom it's range and speed aren't appealing.
Pentax has the 28-105 f/3.5-5.6, and the 24-70 f/2.8; they have this range reasonably covered. The f/2.8, by the way, is comparably priced with the Canon 24-105 f/4.
Wider than that, for FF, there's only the 15-30 f/2.8.
Your "even better" lens, are you reducing a lens' performance to numbers? The 28-105 f/3.5-4.5 is a film-era lens, and judging from the reviews I could find, far from being praised.
The Pentax 28-105 f/3.5-5.6 is surprisingly good for its price. I would definitely call it appealing; actually a default choice when getting the K-1, unless you'd go with the 24-70.
"Regardless of the optical quality" is a strange statement...

That "Ditch your DSLR!" campaign, meant to clear stocks while they were closing shop... priceless! How many bought into Samsung believing DSLRs will disappear?
