I have it in Nikon mount and use it on my D5100. I really like it. It is very sharp wide open, and even sharper stopped down.
I asked in a thread awhile back about the value of the Sigma lens...

Fflum,
You will not be missing anything if you get the Sigma. I have all 3 of the lenses you have or are thinking about. I have the 18-200 VRII, the 35 f/1.8, and the Sigma 17-50 f/2.8, bought...

I use a D5100 and the 18-200 VRII for family vacations and it works out great.
I have others lenses I use when at home, but on a vacation, it seems hard to beat the convenience of the all in one...

Interested in this lens for a Nikon D7100. It seems like it would be very well suited to indoor basketball/volleyball.
Does anyone have practical experience with the focus speed of this lens. ...

Wasswhat, I'm impressed with the focus of the pictures. Seems like the camera nailed it. What focus mode did you use?
I take sports pictures of my kids while playing sports with my 5100, and...

I have to ask, sorry for my ignorance. But, if the camera is new in box, you open it and register the warranty, how would Niknow know you bought it from someone else? If the warranty has not been...

D5100 owner here as well. I started with the Nikon 18-200 VR II as my first and only lens. Eventually bought the Tamron 70-300 VC. The 18-200 is extremely versatile. The Tamrom 70-300 is very...

I have this lens as well. Very happy with it. For outdoors where light is good, it takes great pictures. I wavered betwen this and the Nikon version. But, for the cost delta(I got it with the...

Here is the report on the Sigma. Bought it after work, got home, put it on my camera(D5100), and it will not auto focus. It hunts, and hunts, and hunts. If the camera does take a picture, it is...

I've decided, I'm going to take the plunge and buy the Sigma. I have a $500 dollar gift card to my local camera shop, so it's not going to cost me that much. I have no doubt that the Nikon is a...

Joe, mainly people. People at family gatherings. Birthday parties, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter etc. Alot of time these end up being at night, indoors with poor lightling. Unless I crank my...

Wondering the same thing myself. Looking to potentially buy a 17-50 f/2.8 lens as well. In my mind, I'm rating the lens as follows:Nikon - Better build quality, probably better opticsSigma -...

I was thinking of buying a Promaster XC 522. Link here: Promaster XC522 It folds up to less than 12", weights less than 2 #'s, and will supposedly hold up to 11 lbs. I just looked at one at my...

I must say I like my 18-200 VRII. It seems to get knocked for image quality, but honestly, it seems good to me. I've taken what I believe are some very sharp images within it. Granted, I'm no...

I have the Tamron, and I'm very happy with it as well. I've never used the Nikon version, but for the price, I think this lens is a steal. Used it for my son playing football this year, and got...

Has Sigma said when these lenses will be available? I'm interested in the current 17-70, but don't want to buy it if the new one is right around the corner. Also, any idea if the focus ring will...

Thanks for the feedback. This lens sounds really nice. I would think on a DX camera the quality would be very good.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! There are several points I had not considered. I have been using my 18-200 to simulate the focal range, and it seems about right. Thanks again.
