Intend to get a macro lens, which one should I get? I intend to use it for casual portrait too.
Budget is about $700-800+
Anyone wants to comment on Tamron 90mm vs Sigma 105mm? or any other option?
Although I love macros but I don't think I'll need $900+ lens just doing macro:think:
From what I read in dpreview, many said the tamron sp 90mm is sharper. Since Vulpix0r said there's no D-FA 100mm in stock, I guess I'll forget about it. So the only macro lens left is Sigma EX 105mm

Need it urgently? If not just wait for stock to come in again.
Maybe I should invest in the AFZ 540 1st then lens comes later.:think:
Thanks all for helping with my decision. Now to look around for the best deal BTW is DFA 100mm faster than Tamron 90mm?
You better grab the 540FGZ flash from Cathay Photo soon, they won't get shipment again until June for the stupid flash!

Thanks. I may want to grab it from KL/Penang over the weekend. But must try contacting the shops see if they have stock
Have you considered a 50mm macro? With the crop factor it becomes an equivalent 75mm and can work as a portrait lens too for head/shoulders shots. I use this for product and people shots. Superb sharpness.
