I would buy the Tampon. Useful even if you forget to take your camera.

That is what I call my tamron! I'm a bit uglier with sigma aka smegma!

If it were me, I would watch several comparison videos and make a consensus judgement OR you may want to rent one you are interested in and do some real world evaluations of your own. I would look at Nikon first if you have the 850..

You should go to lenstip.com and visit the Lens Review section. I just checked and they have done reviews on all 3 of these lenses, although you need to verify that they used the same model of the lens that you are interested in.

One of the sections of their reviews that I check out first is section 7: Coma, astigmatism and bokeh

Another section I pay attention to is section 5: Chromatic and Spherical Aberration

Actually, all the sections are useful.

I have the Tamron 15-30 f2.8 and I have good results with it. But I don't have the other lenses you asked about to compare it to.

This sounds unscientific and maybe nuts, but I have found that the price tag is the best indicator of lens quality. On the other hand I have bought wine in screw top bottles or boxes, so...

I have the Sigma and it is a good lens, I have read reviews that it is better than the Nikon, which was always perceived by many as the Ultrawide benchmark, and at a substantial savings to boot. Having said that it is a very heavy lens.

Groye. I have no idea what you are shooting nor your budget. But if you already have lens with coverage at 20 or 24mm you might wish to consider a used zeiss 15mm 2.8 zf.2. They can be had used in good condition for about $1,000 and are a step up in image quality. It will also accept thinner versions of 95mm filters.

I do not know how could you go wrong with the Nikon lens.
