I'm not going to be able to get to sleep until I ask this question.
I came upon the older 105 macro from Nikon for $450. It's the D version I think - the one that was before the VR. I'm not looking to go the VR route becuase I'll be using a tripod (that saying never gets old) and I just don't want to spend the money for it when one of these will do it just the same.
I was very very very much set on the Tamron from BH/Adorama for $399 after a $60 mail in rebate and then I came upon this 105.
Optically I think they are the same. I have looked online here and other places and they seem very much the same, other than the focal length.
I'm going to be going to Cades Cove, Tennessee and will want to shoot macro and that's why i'm wanting to go ahead and get this 105, I just don't want to regret it.
What would you do. I'm in a position of need vs. wait. If I put an order in for the Tamron, it would probably get here Friday afternoon, I'm leaving that morning to go up there. I could get the 105 and have it for the weekend....
Oh hell, decisions, I hate stuff like this
