Macro lense

Barry, what will be your primary use for a macro lens? If you are shooting stamps, or coins, maybe jewelry then the 60mm may be best. Flowers and occasional bugs the 100-105 works well. and skittish or dangerous critters then 180 or the 200 mm lens would be advised. The smaller the subject, the less you will use VR or auto focus with. But if the lens does double duty as a portrait lens, then maybe good to have those features. Most users do not shoot all that often with a macro lens. So good used copies are in abundance.

I do not own one, but have a colleague who uses the 90 mm Tamron macro. It has excellent image quality.

Tamron 90mm 2.8 1:1 SP unless you need extra distance for insects eyeballs, then go with Sigma 180 mentioned above. The Tamron is tack sharp and is also great for other applications in the 90mm range - portraiture for example.

What about the 't' in the middle of the word 'There' ?

There are two errors in your brief post. You have laid an egg as spelling police.

And thete is spelled there.

I have been very pleased with my Tamron 90mm f2.8. And, it has vibration control.

I would not buy any lens shorter than 90mm or 100mm Have a 100mm but if I did it again I would go to 180mm. The bad side of the longer lens is you get even smaller depth of field, but you can get back a ways.

I use the Tamron 90mm f/2.8 SP AF Di Macro Lens for Nikon AF with my Nikon d750. It is tack sharp. I am very pleased. Cannot compare to other lens. A couple pics.
