Nice job, but a bit over exposed. Try a faster shutter speed or 2 Stops lower. Or get some skills

Hi Guys, the difference seems to be beacause the Nikon pictures are clicked at high shutter speed than sigma see pictures 3a,3b,3c.

Hi Weldon Miller,actually nikon were sharp at range of 70~230mm,after that the image will go little soft,but all range were still sharper than sigma.but nikon have CA(abberation) and sigma CA have nearly none.

How do the lenses compare at other than 300mm? Does the Nikkor hold a sharpness advantage over the entire range or are they pretty close at other focal lengths?

Yes,you're right,nikon is sharper.so I keep my nikon 70-300g

Nikkor is great. Sigma don`t have abberation, that`s all. Nikkor is sharper.
