Highlights
Quality
The quality of the lens is ok and could fit better but the optics are sharp
The build quality is significantly better than what is typically kitted with dslrs these days
Dont expect the same quality as a fast prime lens but for the price it shouldnt be a disappointment
Overall the image quality is good for an ultrawide zoom lens
Shipping
The price for this lens was very good and the shipping fast
Competitiveness
Replaced my very old nikon 18200 lens on a nikon d7000
I paired this lens with a nikon d5300
Great zoom range although i dont think its an actual 250mm

As you would expect when compared to my legacy fixedlength manual lenses the colours on the sigma were not as richly saturated and the resolution poorer
