Construction feels solid enough for me. The thing is heavy and appears to have the metal in places where it does best. I like how you feel the zoom ring, probably better than most of my Nikon lenses.
I believe that using macro mode a little awkward, because it works only in the range 200-300mm. Maybe I'm a Grouch great, but I think it is necessary to tinker too much with the lens when I want to hunt and macros, or returning to a normal switch. It should be up to 200 mm or more to switch macro mode may be extended, and it is important to focus at a distance not at the macro level, where you can zoom back to return. It does not seem so bad, but these are things I prefer not to think about when I concentrate on composition. However, I must say that the result is very good lens for macro photography that I rarely get there.
Autofocus is where I keep seeing the compromise, low prices. It is often used to hunt for focus if I do the inside. It 'also very strong. In any case, look, if anywhere else, you need to pay attention. If you do it on my D40, it seems almost as fast as my other goals to concentrate. On my D700, but is much slower than my Nikon.
Overall, I think it is worth what you pay for. In fact, if you use the money for the Nikkor 70-300mm, I would even go so far as to recommend to buy this place. The biggest difference I see between the two is VR (Vibration Reduction) Nikkor, but at 300mm, you should have the camera on a tripod, with or without VR. Save up to $ 300 and go with the Sigma.
