But visible.
If you have the money, get the Nikkor...you'll be glad you did.
A year from now you'll have spent the difference in price on food or gas and look at your Sigma and think "I wish I'd bought the Nikkor..."
I've heard this many times

In my own comparisons Sigma and Tamron lenses do a remarkable job of holding their own on IQ when compared to top of the line Canon and Nikon models considering the price difference. In some aspects they can out perform the main brand names. But you'll never believe this until you see it with your own eyes, so do some personal testing.
