[QUOTE="clarnibass, post: 181827, member: 9831"] Maybe I need to clarify. I know what FL I need or don't need. It is not a question here. Anything above 50mm would work for me like I mentioned in the first post. I don't shoot insects and I know what working distance each FL would give me. It is not an issue at all. It is also not an issue of saving for a more expensive lens. It's a matter of how much I'm willing to spend on this lens. I'm simply trying to find out what other macro lenses are longer than 50mm, have at least a decent feel for the focus ring, cost more or less the same as the previous (non-VC) Tamron 90mm (preferably less) and wouldn't require a extra ring to get to x1.0 magnification. For example, the 40mm is too short, the newest AF 105mm is too expensive (same for Sigma 150mm), the older MF Nikons that I'm familiar with need the extra ring. If not for the ring the one I have is great, but that ring is the reason I want to replace it. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
