Excellent Rugged Alternative to Nikon's 17-55mm 2.8
I admit it. I'm a Nikon nut. I am inclined to believe that everything Nikon does is worlds better than anyone else.
In the case of the Sigma 18-50mm 2.8, I can't find one compelling reason to choose Nikon over the Sigma. Sure, there's a bit more range (17-55 instead of 18-50), but the Nikon is $1,000 more than the Sigma.
As far as optical performance, they are almost perfectly comparable. Sigma flares a bit more than the Nikon at ultra-wide angles, but if you use the included hood that shouldn't be a problem.
There is no visible distortion at any focal length, and vignetting is only visible at around 18-24mm range. The glass is sharp as a tack, and perhaps most importantly, the lens is solid. It feels like you could take it into battle.
I own an arsenal of Nikon lenses, but since I bought this lens 7 months ago, it's the only one I carry anymore.
If you shoot landscapes, portraits, or indoor snapshots, this lens is a must-have. Save the $1,000 and buy the Sigma.

Excellent Glass
2 personnes sur 2 ont jugé cet avis utile. I finally upgraded from the 1.8 - the 1.4 is worth every penny. The glass is just better all around, plus the lens has better bokeh, better color rendition... you name it. Don't waste your money on the 1.8.

Softer than it Should Be
I spend a ton of money on Nikon glass. So when it came time to buy a teleconverter, I never considered anything but the Nikon.
Sadly, Nikon really didn't hit the mark with this one. There is significant light falloff at wide apertures (meaning you get vignetting from 2.8 up through about 5.6) which pretty much defeats the purpose of super-fast tele lenses. You can adjust that out in post if you shoot raw, but that's a major pain in the backside.
On my 70-200mm 2.8 AF-S VR, the entire field of view is front-focused, and Nikon claims it cannot be adjusted. In order to get around this problem, I have to manually focus, which is a waste of the AF-S speed. I even traded it in for a different one with the exact same result.
I also have the 1.4x tele from Nikon and it doesn't share any of these shortcomings, so I'd recommend you go with the 1.4x instead of the 2.0x.
If you don't mind manually focusing and adjusting vignette in post, you could get away with using this thing, and it's certainly cheaper than a 400mm 4.0, but buy at your own risk.
