Ok, I have to say up front, I now own 3 SIGMA lenses and 2 Nikons. My Sigmas are easily the best lenses so far (except the 50mm AF-D Nikon).
BUT erhe is a catch, if youbuy a Sigma lens, make sure you buy them at a store and test them before hand. I printed out the focus paper test and took it to the store. 2 other Sigma lenses showed front focus and/or softness.
I paid 20 euros more at the store that I bought the lenses from over Amazon but its well worth it. My lenses are pin sharp and work perfectly.
So, if you are considering buying Sigma lenses (i guess tamron and tokina as well), test them in the store with proper test shots and look at them in your computer before any purchase.
BTW, the lenses in question are my 105mm Macro (which broke once already!!
) and my 17-70mm HSM lens.
