This reminds me of the effect of softening due to VR. See VR (or IS) - Is it worth it?.

Is either lens VR (or OS for the Sigma)? If so you could try switching VR off.

I'm not at all convinced that this is the issue as I would expect any softening due to VR to be the same at all apertures but it might be worth a test.
