A used, mint condition in the box Nikon 10-24mm on ebay are going from 590.00 to 650.00. Consider the Nikon, it matches your body, has very good reviews, and will be worth more than the Sigma down the road. $100.00 more for a quality product is not bad, and, you will get that $100.00 back when you decide to sell it over the Sigma.
The one I have, while an excellent lens, does not have VR. I find that limiting for handheld landscape shots where you want low ISO and high f-stop.
There might be a newer version with VR.
The Tokina gets excellent reviews, is cheaper, and I believe has VR.
