I don't know much about Nikon lenses, But my Sigma 70-300 APO DG Macro is the best lens I have ever used out of Minolta,Sony,and Sigma. and the price is a joke for how great of a lens it is. If your hard on $$ I would not think of another lens than Sigma

I think everyone agrees with me on this.
Sigma brand is a specialist on lenses and their quality has been tested. However, Nikon lenses...specially Nikkor lenses have a supreme quality and great results.
The question you have to do next is the following; which lens can you afford?

You can always buy second hand lens (If before hand you make sure everything is clean and without any damage)

I'm suprised it hasn't come up yet, but why not consider the Nikon 80-200 f2.8? Honestly, I think the 80-200 would be more comparable to the Sigma 70-200 since neither have any form of VR.

I'd like people who have the sigma to chime in as to why they didn't go with the nikon 80-200, given the relatively small price difference and consistent quality of nikons?
