Shel, I shoot with the 70-210mm f4.0-5.6 SMC F Zoom and get very good 20" X
30" prints using an interneg process. Last time I bought that lens (as a
gift) a few years ago I paid around $170 from KEH. I've been shooting with
one that's now over 13 years old and have had no problems to date. There may
be better zooms in this range out there but this is one I would reccomend.
