Digital BW, The Print

I use 2 Canon L lenses and find them superb (the 24-70L and the 70-200L).
However, I routinely use the Sigma 15-30EX f/3.5-4 and just sold the Sigma
24-70 f/2.8  which I used quite happily.  They are a great alternative to
the L lenses.  Some like the Sigma 28-70 better than the 24-70 and the
70-200 has gotten good 'reviews' from Canon users also.

>>>Subject: [Digital BW] Lenses for Canon

I have been giving Kodak Portra chromogenic B&W film scanned with a
Nikon 4000ED a try but the images seem just a hair soft. Whether
this is the film or the lens I don't know (Canon 24-85mm) but I
suspect the lens. From previous experience I know the L glass is
superb but it is a hair beyond my means at the moment. I used Tokina
ATX in the past (bad mistake) and they had horrid flare problems. A
friend suggested the new Sigma EX series, particularly the 70-200.
Has anyone had any experience with this lens?

Thanks

Roger
