Hmmmm new toys for the camera!  

That should be a fun lens to have.  You shoot landscapes?

Post up how you like the lens.  Sigma I have been reading is making some nice improvements in their glass.  I think the days of needing to buy OEM glass is become history.

+1 for Sigma.  Stay away from Tamron IMO 

Very nice to meet you!

A friend of mine has this lens, he uses it often for landscapes and I have to say, the lens does a good job.  Congrats on the new glass!

Evidently Sigma has upped their game. I've never had a lens of theirs I liked and kept very long.

I owned Sigma 105 f/2.8  and 150 f/2.8 that were both great lenses, and sometimes wish I hadn't sold them. (my wife says I have a lens fetish...:unsure: )

Fetish ? Mine says I have an addiction (this photo was several years back & I still have most of them and have added more to the herd). These are only the Nikon F mount lenses and there are several Sigmas in there.
