Samples pls
Nice lens Dave, have fun with it!
Ninja, just compared the Vignette, sharpness, and CA characteristics between the two at slrgear.com. Comparing results between 50mm lenses is usually just splitting hairs, but the results between these were surprising...
The Sigma is a tad sharper in the center at all aperatures, and 1 full unit (blur unit) sharper in the center at f1.4
However, the Nikon is a clear winner in the vignetting and edge to edge sharpness department.

Sigma's 50 probably produces warmer colors than Nikon's. Sigmas usually do.
And yes, samples please.
