It was Euros, not Dollars (I'm in Germany) -- but still too expensive to repeat.
Meanwhile, the Sigma seems to be down to around 230 Euros as is the Nikkor 18-105mm VR.
http://www.amazon.de/product-reviews/B00153ZMY0 has some customers' reviews (in German)
stating that Sigma suffers from quality problems.
Anyway, the VR feature might well outweigh the missing telefoto range
in the new lens :-)
Thanks for all of your advice, Boggle

Strange that I read dollars <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' />
Maybe it is an idea to order it from the netherlands, if postage is not high?
€189:
