Wendy,
My wife and I have the 70-200 2.8 EX. An excellent
lens, works without a problem on the ZX-5n. It also has
a nice manual focus feel for an AF lens, so it gets good
use on the LX too. Lens is sharp and crisp/contrasty,
more so than the Pentax 80-320. The removable tripod
mount is good and allows easy rotation between portrait
and landscape orientation. The matching 1.4x EX
teleconvertor [there's a 2x too, but I have no
experience with it] seems to work with no noticable
image quality loss. The lens comes with a hood and a
case.
Two complaints: [1] the AF/MF clutch does not affect
the AF/MF setting on the ZX-5n, so you have to change
both, and [2] flare resistance is good, but not up to
SMC standards.

>>>>>Hi All,
First question:
Does anyone have experience of the
Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 APO EX ?
(or the older 82mm filter size 70-210)
