[QUOTE="JoeyND, post: 721412, member: 47385"] I want to stay around the price of these 2 lenses. Nikon is out sadly. I heard all amazing things about the Tokina 100mm macro. Some say it is the best Nikon macro out there. So I just got the NEW version of the [FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]Tokina atx-i 100mm f/2.8 FF Macro Lens for Nikon F[/FONT]. I am a little concerned with a few things about it. I shoot a lot of handheld macro insects. I just switched to Nikon. My canon macro lenses were amazing and performed well. Both had image stabilization. The Tokina does NOT! This scares me a little... some say it does matter & others say it does not? It is also very noisy & I read it is because it uses the cameras motor to focus and not the lens itself. So I was looking at the [FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens for Nikon F. This has the image stabilization & i hear it is a very nice lens. So basically what I am wondering which one would be better for me? The attached pic is what I like to shoot as far as crop & detail. Thank You![/FONT] [/QUOTE]
