I think Dmitri (moizes) has this lens; he's always spoken favorably about it, and the sample images he posted looked nice and sharp.

That's true; it's the best macro lens I've ever used; selling it now, have no use on my D3, 105 mm in use. Have posted a lot of images here and on Nikonians, you may search moizes name. Dimitri.

I too am in the market for a good but affordable macro lens. After reading reviews and researching for one I narrowed it down to the Tamron 90mm macro which is available new with a $90 rebate here: Tamron | SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro Autofocus Lens | AF272N700 | B&H
