[QUOTE="ScottinPollock, post: 479297, member: 40111"] I'll admit being a little biased towards Nikon glass; it's the reason I choose the platform in the first place. Measurements aren't always the defining criteria for how a lens looks. Don't get me wrong, Sigma has made a handful of superb lenses (I have a few), but a lot of duds too. I have also had some issues with newer Nikon bodies that required firmware updates (a real hassle). Never been a fan of Tamron; always looked soft and dull to me, though it appears some of their more current efforts are much, much better.
