Sigma lenses

What is the general consensus on the quality and quality of pictures taken
with Sigma lenses.

I have a N90 that I may be using them with.

It was my experience that the optics were OK, but the build quality prooved to
be lacking in many ways.

I bought them for my kids used because I got them for next to nothing. I find
the build quality inferior to Canon. The optics are very poor. This is based
on the 28-105 f/2.8-4 and a 28-200 f/???.

What's wrong with Nikon optics? Consider that you will get far better results
with an N-55 and good optics than a N-90 and poor optics.

Nothing wrong with Nikon optics, it's all I own, I was just wondering and
looking for some input that isn't coming from a salesman.

Thanks to all!

I can't speak for current Nikon optics since I switched from Nikon to Canon 4
years ago, but I am sure Nikon optics are better values than Sigma.

I just scored a 75 to 300 F4.5-5.6, like new with box, caps and all for $250
at a pawn shop, which was less than the Sigma the local expert
was pushing. I stopped by to show him, just to rub it in. Through the
viewfinder alone the difference in image quality could be seen, and
mechanically,
there was no comparison.

I agree about the new Nikon G lenses, that have no aperture ring and
non-coated lenses; not interested. They even feel cheesy.

Just out of curiosity, what is you're favorite color print film in the ASA
100 range?

Black and White?
