[QUOTE="hark, post: 637115, member: 13196"] I have the Nikon 105mm f/2.8 VR lens. It is stellar. Some people here have the Sigma which also takes incredible photos. The thing with the Sigma is some of their lenses run the risk of needing to be sent back for firmware updates. Not all Sigma lenses are compatible with the newer Nikon bodies. The Sigma lenses that attach to the dock should be able to get any firmware updates, but those that don't have to be sent back to receive firmware updates. I don't think Sigma charges to update the firmware, but I think shipping is paid by the customer. It might not matter now with the Nikon body you currently own, but please keep it in mind for future bodies. A longer focal length lens means you won't need to get quite as close to your subject. I've seen some gorgeous macro photos taken with the Tamron 90mm, too. I'm not as familiar with the Tokina, but I *think* there are a few people here who use it. Good luck with whichever you choose.
