Hey guys, I'm about to purchase my first macro lens. I've been doing a lot of research and I think I've narrowed it down to two lenses. I am between the Nikon 105mm 2.8 vr or the Tamron 90mm 2.8 vc. Which do you refer? I know a lot of people swear by the Nikon 105 but I noticed dxomark and a couple other places rate the tamron slightly better.
Went through this exercise back in 2012. My conclusion at the time, and I still believe I made the right choice, and it's neither of the two you mention. I went the the Sigma 150 OS. It's in the price range of the Nikon 105 that you've mentioned. Not trying to dissuade you from your choices, but from my personal experience of using the Sigma 150 OS, it's just absolutely fantastic.
