Being a rank digital newbie, I let a salesman talk me into buying a

He claimed the Sigma was the better macro, but I suspect his motives.

Did I goof? Be brutally truthful guys, I can take it.

I'm actually quite happy with that lens on my Nikon D70 and D200. Much happier than I am with my Tamron 11-18 superwide.
