[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 249164, member: 14443"] an EXTREMELY underated and not talked about lens. VERY sharp lens. when I was looking for a 105 lens I looked at everything out there. the Nikon 105VR is the king of bokeh (of all the 105 macros) and size doesnt change and VR for me is useful. expensive. but for portraits its just amazing, but the Tokina is VERY sharp open as well, nice bokeh. fastish AF. after the nikon 105 AFD, I was going to get the Tokina. not a lens everyone talks about. tamron is too short at 90 and I already have the 85 1.8 AFD. sigma is slow on AF. not as sharp from 3.5 its really good. lacks contrast till its stopped down about a stop. take a look at the Tokina if the nikon 105 AFS/AFD is out of your reach. Ive uploaded the little girl before but adding a 3rd.
