Re: Re:

Agreed....But how many times we use autofocus lens for Macro shooting? Should one be really using it in Macro photgraphy...? I'm willing to sacrifice Autofocus function for a good lens [SM=g6794]

Of course the last sentence is the most important one ... I don't think there are many "AFS" macro lenses around

No Nikkors apart from those you mentioned ...
Let's see Sigma Products: the only HSM I see are the 150/2.8 and 180/2.8.
I think these are very good choices, though not cheap. I have no personal experiences with them, but among us - if I recall correctly - Piolo has the 180, and he's very pleased with it: he posted some picture here recently.

All in all I'd go for it (or the 150) if the "price is right" , compared with the Nikkor 105, of course ...
