Hello everyone. I'm thinking about upgrading from my Sigma 18-50/2.8 non-OS, non-HSM, non-macro to one of these lenses. Obviously, the Nikkor is double the cost used as the sigma is new, but my question to you is, do you think there is that much of an improvement in sharpness and resolution, (and build quality) to warrant the extra prove and loss of OS? I've never used either of these lenses, so I'm really counting on you all here. I've had a look at the MTF charts, and the Nikkor is better in sharpness from corner to corner, but not by much, at all. And it's not much better in resolution throughout the range either. Both aren't amazing by any means in this dept. So, what do you think? The poor resolution of my 18-50 is really annoying me terribly.Thanks,Mark
