Great kit lens replacement
4 of 4 found this helpful As the title suggests, this lens replacement my kit 18-55 Nikkor. Thats exactly what I wanted too. Recently upgrading my body to the D7100 made the kit lens noticeably struggling with my desires, especially low light. This sigma has given me much more light and control with the aperture. Pictures are sharp, possibly a hair less than the kit actually, but unnoticeable unless printing wall art or something. Barrel distortion and vignetting is also considerably better and close to perfect.
My only complaints are; its heavy, and the zoom ring goes opposite of nikkor standard lenses.
I have not had the opportunity to use other similar class lens, but so far I would definitely recommend this Sigma as a kit replacement.
