I also seem to remember reading that the basic "cheap" Nikon and Canon 
zooms weren't actually that brilliant. I still have a Nikon 35-80 zoom 
that came with a Nikon F50 (still working!)
It was badly made, cheap and tacky...but it gave surprisingly sharp 
results. In fact it felt wore than any Sigma I've ever owned!
