For Macro, Sigma 105 and 150 are very nice and less expensive than Nikkors. Manual focusing needs a bit of practice and there will be some misfocused shots, but in macro you'd get the same percentage of success unless you're shooting something absolutely still on a tripod. I use my macro lenses in manual focus 99.5% of the time. I set my crop by moving and roughly focusing and then leave the focus alone and just slightly move in and out, shooting in high speed bursts just to make certain I have a good shot. It's all a question of practice.</p></blockquote><p></p>
