Anyone using Vivitar 70-210mm f2.8-4.0 lens on GH2?

I read only positive reviews by users all around the world, but still no any test or video sample with GH2.

Anyone using GH1/2 with SIGMA 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC Macro? Any impressions about this lens? What I mean generally is if there are any issues like vignettes, tilts, blurs, unable to infinity focus, etc. when used on GH1. I watched very nice results with this lens on t2i, so is it needless on GH1 even manually controlled?

24-70mm lenses topic

I have a chance to pick up Sigma 24-70mm for $400 with a $100 UV filter on it! I was wondering if anyone has used this lens or one like it for video? When I was playing around with it, I did notice a bit of breathing with it but not sure if that's something you can't get away from, using lenses with this range. It was pretty damn impressive and didn't extend too far at all. Seems like a great fit with the Tokina 11-16. Any help as soon as possible would be great as I need to jump on this right away. Thanks everyone.

70-200mm Sigma 2.8 hsm II or Nikon 80mm-200mm

I hooked up my GH2 with Nikon 17-55 and it is great combo. Now looking for good tele zoom for gh2. Well, if I had money i would buy Nikon VR1 :) Within my budget first choice was Tamron 70-200 but there's one problem for video use - short focus path (only 80°). So I decided for Sigma 70-200 hsm II or Nikon 80-200, the price for used ones is similar. Any advice from actual owners (I have already read all reviews) of these two lenses is welcome...

Good Deals: Sigma 70mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro

Many believe that it is sharpest from all macro lenses.
And Sony/Minolta mount version allow to get it cheaper (plus 140mm macro seems more usable on GH bodies).

Price - $295 BIN normal price is around $500.
Mount - Sony/Monolta
