Hi Pitak:

Nathan said the 35-70f4 is a Leitz design manufactured by Sigma. That is only half true. It is a Leitz design but manufactured b Kyocera (sp?), the company that manufactures Contax. It is an excellent lens if you do
not need the 2.8 apeture. The 80-200 is likewise an excellent lens if f4 is adequate for your. The 2.8 versions are wonderful I am sure, but the price is only justified if you need the speed, not for the incremental
quality.
