Grip for D200, and Macro/Prime lens?

[Syk3]

Looking at getting a grip for my D200, looking at just a 3rd party one, although is the Nikon one worth the extra for it? If a 3rd party, and specifics you recommend?

Also looking at a 90mm+ prime for Macro/Portrait work, mostly the latter, but it'd get more use with Macro too.

Looking at the Tamron 90mm f2.8, Tokina 100mm f2.8, and possibly the Sigma 105mm.

Any others to look at/which ones you recommend from the above?

Cheers

Can't comment on the grip, but would recommend the Tamron 90mm f2.8, its a very good macro lens, the sigma isn't bad either, both perform just as well as the Nikon offerings, but at a faction of the cost, about £200 cheaper. From reading some reviews the Tokina also has some good reviews.
