For the 70-200 2.8s I would choose the Nikon over the others if money were no object. Sigma is making some fine glass and, from I've read, has improved their repair service so I won't hesitate buying from them. However, the 70-200 is not their best and the Nikon and Tamron should outperform it. I actually had this decision to make recently and guess which of the three I bought: none of them. I went with the new Nikon 70-200 f/4 because it's lighter, less expensive, and received rave reviews for image quality. I didn't need the 2.8 so the f/4 was the lens for for me. And I haven't been disappointed.</p></blockquote><p></p>
