I was prepared to see the Sigma worse, especially after it fell down and I never heard that kind of incidents ever improved anything. I really tried to get the best out of the Nikkor, but I also admit: if it would be a better performer in terms of flare, I would not have thought of getting another 14 mm - the f/1.8 is nice, but easily overrated. And a tough challenge for AF, too.
In regards of stars wide open, the Nikkor is still doing better - so I think I should send the Sigma in to have it checked and the hood replaced. It's just, I don't trust their one-man workshop too much. I've seen their gear and I'm not sure it won't come back worse than I send it in.
