Great feedback and part of the reason I put stuff out is so that we can all learn. I've said it 1,000 times I'm still learning. thanks

Love the photos, but something got my attention with those 2 wide angle shots – the horizon isn't straight. Not sure how else to put it so I'll just say what I have to and get it over with

Also on that second photo, I would crop out that bench-like object on the lower right, it's quite distracting.

This is all intended as constructive criticism and I apologise if it seems very straightforward.

Total typos, it's fixed now. I've owned other Sigma lenses and to this point I've not had a bad experience. I thought this new one may have been soft around the edges , but it was likely my inexperience at testing. I then followed the advice of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS0hlQ9lSps and found it was fine.

I like the lens so far and yes it's hard to justify the now more than $1500 difference in price between the Nikor and the Sigma, unless it's your profession. I will probably get the Nikor 24mm-70mm f/2.8 in the future but I justify that because it's the size lens that's on my camera 80% of the time. Thanks for the commnets.

Victor,
Great shots.
Question one: Is “Sigma 77-200mm f/2.8″ a typo? Is it the 70-200mm?
Question two: I assume you recommend the Sigma. I'm seriously considering the Sigma 70-200mm for Nikon mount as to do kids sports (day soccer and football under lights) because its $800 instead of $2000+ for the Nikon.

Really nice work Victor. I like how you told a story. Showing the distant shots then showing the detail shots. The shots are really crisp and vivid.
