Looking for a macro lense

[marki24]

My budget is no more then 350 and its for a nikkon camera. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You might find a Sigma 105mm in that price range.

Like Deanos but I think for that price it probably would be second hand.I'm almost positive it goes for more(new) with the Tamrom(90mm) abit more expensive than the Sigma.
The Nikon 60mm goes for about 500.I know it doesn't compare to the Nikon 105mm but it did get a good write up if you want to stick to Nikon.
I personally want the 105mm but with the hefty price tag it will be a while.

Tamron Rebate

When I bought my Tamron 90mm, it was $100 off

I am probably gonna go with the tamron 90mm eventhough its a bit more then my budget. Thanks everyone.

Nope - I use Nikon 60mm macro. However, I want to replace it with this Tamron

I stopped by J&R tonight and checked out the Tamron 90mm.
Tested it and was imperssed. Very little vignetting.
The only thing I didn't like that it doesnt have the VR feature that the newer Nikon lens come with.
Price $499

b and h has it for 459 plus the 60 dollar rebate.

That's great Marki! Your better off getting it at B&H then.
I was by J&R so I popped in.

It's really difficult to find a lens for that price unless it's used.

Watch ebay if you aren't in a rush. I got a used Tamron in perfect condition for $325!! Came in original box with all the paper work. Just be careful who you buy from. Took me about a month before I found the deal.
