[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 262565, member: 14443"] I bought my 105VR about 3 months ago. I did tons of research for a 105 lens. close focusing was a big concern. I wanted a 105 macro lens for regular portraits, buit also to get very close as well and do ring shots for weddings if I need to. but basically, I liked the macros as the minimum focus was minimal. first, the DC f/2 lens was out. price was and versatility wise. the Tamron was out. 90mm is not enough and I have an 85mm 1.8D. the sigma is not as sharp and contrasty (for my taste)till around 3.5. it was down to 3. the 105VR, the 105 AFD, and the Tokina 100 2.8. I didnt think id be able to buy the 105VR, which would be my ultimate lens. so i was looking at the 105 AFD and the Tokina. both are FANTASTIC LENSES. I was looking to get a good price for either of these. at the end, I found a used 105VR at a nice price with warranty on it and got that. the VR is very useful and the bokeh is killer. between the Tokina and the 105 AFD, I was very leaning towards the Tokina. IQ is a bit better, and nicer rounded aperture blades offer nicer bokeh. very fast AF as well. and built like a tank. so bottom line. any of the 3 I noted are stellar, you might consider the tamron and the sigma as well. some like rockwells reviews, some dont. personally, from a technical POV, hes very accurate on what he says, photography and art wise, hes a wreck. not a gram of art flows through his body. but technically he is always spot on. read his review of the tokina. cheers.
