> What Sigma zoom lenses (EX series only) you can describe as >"good lenses" and can safely advise for the buying? Primary use - >photojournalism for the magazine (A4, A3) and for medium size prints (20x30 >and 30x45 cm from the film) for the customers. I am interesting in both >wide-angle and ultrawide-angle lenses also in normal and tele-lenses. I had the Sigma EX 70-200 2.8 and found it to be a very competent lens. I have seen this lens used on many a photojournalist's camera. You don't say what system you are on but I suppose we must assume Pentax (as this is supposed to be a Pentax list, ahem) in which case I would always advise a Pentax lens. Consider a well used Pentax 80-200 2.8 ? If availability is an issue, then the Sigma EX's will do. They are *not* SMC however......
