[QUOTE="emoxley, post: 54923, member: 8006"] The AF 90mm f/2.8 macro lens from Tamron is a very nice lens, and less than $500 with free shipping, [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Tamron-AF-90mm-2-8-Di/dp/B00021EE4U/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1335664077&sr=1-1"]Amazon.com: Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 Di SP AF/MF 1:1 Macro Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras: Electronics[/URL].

This lens is on my camera more than any other. The 90mm macro is second. The f/1.4 or f/2.8 "fast" lenses are nice, but not as critical with the D7000, as it would be with other bodies because of the excellent high ISO capabilities of the D7000. You still get good bokeh with the 70-300mm lens also. [/QUOTE]
