looking to pickup a macro lens, had the Nikon 60mm AF-d 2.8 lens a while ago and I liked it. that is a contender
thinking of these.
Nikon 60mm af-d 2.8 macro
tamron 90mm macro
tokina 100mm macro
sigma 150mm macro non OS
now I know having something in the 100 mm range is better for working with bugs, and the sigma 150 would be really great and that's a positive. but the negative is the price of the sigma 150 at around 500 for a used one. also the increase focal distance really makes getting enough DOF hard, that is one reason I like the idea of the 60mm macro, although you have to get very close to the subject to get 1:1 reproduction, im thinking the DOF will not be as extreme as the 100 or 150 at similar aperture values.
tell me what you think.
