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

Maybe it is an idea to order it from the netherlands, if postage is not high?
