Nikon 105 f2.8G or Sigma 105f2.8 EX

Hi all

I want a Macro lens for my Nikon D300s and one of the above seems like my best choice. The Nikon is £605 and Sigma is £379. Is the Nikon really worth the extra? or is there an even better alternative.

Tamron 90mm? I love mine

Thanks, better take a look at the Tamron.

In one word YES the nikon is well worth the extra, I have both and really can't get on with the Sigma, great lens I just don't like the non internal focusing and the having to switch from manual to autofocus unlike the one touch on nikon lenses.
Sigma is gathering dust in it's box at the moment

The Tamron 90mm is a really nice alternative to the nikon - love mine
