and I was

I just noticed two things about the 28-84mm f4 lens.
First, it is probably a 2.8/4 lens or at least a 3.2/4 as the

I agree, only flare might be a problem.
My Tokina RMC 4/25-50 is a great lens too.

Also forgot to mention I also bought a
tokina RMC 400mm F5.6 which is also of
excellent++ quality. I think the trend is

Don't know about tripods, but my Bogen 3218 monopod with 3262 ball
The tokina is a 28 to 200, (all four versions I think). It's as close to
the sigma as to the tokina.

I goes for around 200-225$ on eBay I think.
Is II much more expensive?

What's the general opinion of the above mentioned lens?
I may have this lens. Mine is an ATX SD 80-200 f/2.8.
If this is the one you are asking after, it is very good.
