This Sigma .. better than the Tamron or than the Nikkor 16-85??.
As I have seen the prices are:
- Sigma 17-50: 649 euros
- Nikkor 16-85: 589 euros
- Tamron 17-50: 349 euros
Do you think these are the better options?

Yes, the Sigma is better. A bit better optically than the Tamron, better AF, better build and image stabilization.
The Nikon is a slower lens but with a bit more tele range. Personally I prefer the f2.8 over the longer range.
For Canon, the EF-S 15-85mm f3.5-5.6 IS USM is the Nikon counterpart.
