Interesting how so many will buy that overpriced 105mm G VR. I was one of them. The Tokina 100mm f2.8 macro is so much better when it comes to image quality, and at less than half the cost! Even without VR, which one doesn't need for macro, and without IF, the Tokina is a far better macro lens. No matter how many spiders, crickets, or bees I shot with those two lenses, the prickly hairs on spiders' legs, jagged spikes on the crickets' legs, and the hairs on honeybees were always tack sharp with the Tokina and a bit soft with the Micro Nikkor sans any post process sharpening. And yes, I compulsively AF tune all my lenses. Many reviewers will report something similar about the G VR lens. So I thought I'd just convey my honest 2 cents worth, thinking maybe somebody will pay attention.
