Filippo -
I used the Sigma lens for nearly 2 years but traded it for the Nikon
20-35. However, I was very satisfied with the results of the Sigma,
but very unsatisfied with its handling. It feels just like "nothing",
or "no lens mounted" and I disliked the plastic feeling less and less.
(I also own a 14mm/f3.5 Sigma, which handles MUCH more better, so it
seems not to be a brand problem...) The results in terms of chromes
where what I'd call "quite nice", but I was not satisfied with the
results at the shorter end (18mm...) which tended to vignette in the
corners.
In early 1998 I bought the Nikon 2.8/20-35 and since then I am
convinced that this lens is real Nikon jewel. If I had not to look on
the price tag, I'd go for this lens.
Hope this helps,
Michael
