OK, maybe my D60's stock 18-55 suffered from front focus or something, but semi-pro lenses are well worth the investment.

And the camera - D300 produces very beautiful A3 photo prints. I couldn't say that about the D60.
Were you shooting in jpeg or raw? The 18-55 lens is a solid lens for general photography, and you can work around it to still get some impressive shots, but its a starter lens we know that. I've popped on the 18-200mm vr lens from a d300 and it makes a huge difference no doubt. Also when you printed did you bump up the dpi to 300? or leave it at 72dpi?

Is this the lens you guys are referring to for the sigma?
