Been going through your gallery and found some new favourites. Lovely detail in this one, superb quality! How do you like the Sigma 18-200? Think I may have asked you before, haha I forget.

Thank you
The Sigma is nice if you don't want to travel with 4 or more lenses. I bought it mainly for holidays but I found that its image quality is not so bad at all. Only at 18mm there is strong vignetting. The Stabilizer is ok, but a little faulty - I had to have it repaired once (under guarantee). It has an inner focus system, so the front lens doesn't rotate - ideal for using filters. I haven't really found the sweet spot yet, but it seems to perform best at F13 but I am also very happy with the results at F16. Many of my picture were shot with this lens.
I also have a Sigma 20mm/1.8 EX DG but it underexposes 2 full stops on the D300. That sucks a little. I guess I will sell that lens as it wasn't designed for APS-C sensors in the first place and get myself a 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM instead.

The 10-20mm is a fantastic wide angle lens, I was tempted to get that over the Canon 10-22mm but I decided to get the Canon for live view and USM but yeah you will be more than happy with the Sigma 10-20mm. I think I am going to get the Canon 70-200 f/4L non IS version cause it's cheaper and I always shoot with a tripod so I don't really need IS for landscapes on a tripod.. Just need to find a cheap site where I can buy secondhand lenses for a fair price, Know any yourself?

Thank you for the info! I am sorry, I never bought a lens second hand - so I cannot help you
I would also prefer Nikkor lenses - but I can't afford them
