Yea, I know, you shoot macro manually, but I can't handle it, o.k?

Now, I've never had a macro lens and I've got only like 300$ to spend (second hand lens), so I was thinking about Nikkor 105 af-d or maybe Tokina 100 or Tamron 90 (non VC version).

What would you recommend? Which one will give me the best AF results?

I prefer autofocus with a macro lens, but at high magnification or using a tripod, I'll probably need to use manual focus anyway.

Using autofocus hand-held, you'll probably want image stabilization to help avoid using flash all the time at the narrow apertures needed.
