The latest models of the latter two are a little more expensive than the Tokina but do have vibration reduction. That could make a massive difference when shooting handheld. For that reason I'm unlikely to get the Tokina.It is important to know what type of macro subjects you will be shooting. A 60mm might be fine if you only want to shoot static subjects that can't run/jump/fly away. If you want to photograph things like butterflies, the greater working distance of longer focal lengths will help a lot. The longer the better. I currently have a 55mm macro but find getting close enough to bugs a challenge, 90mm or longer would make things easier.</blockquote>
