[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 559373, member: 25183"] I'm in pretty much the same position, considering the same 3 lenses, although I have no problem buying a grey import if the price is right. Of those three I've almost ruled out the Tokina because it lacks image stabilisation, which is a massive drawback IMHO when shooting macro hand held. I favour the Sigma over the Tamron for it's reach, 158mm vs 135mm equivalent on DX body. However I've owned a Tamron lens and the VC is very good, not sure how the Sigmas OS will compare. I believe Tamron have just released a new version of their 90mm 2.8 which is optically very similar to the previous edition, the main difference I gather is a better weather sealed housing and scratch resistant coating on the front element. It may also have improved VC but I've not researched it much yet, just watched one video. Good luck and I look forward to seeing what other Nikonites recommend. [/QUOTE]
