Just arrived yesterday, a TAMRON 90mm SP Macro Lens f/2.8 DI VC USD 1:1 for Nikon.

It is FX has internal focus, very fast, and sharp on the D610.

They also introduced an 85mm f/1.8 but it has no macro, for about the same price, about $600US.

Now that is a a very nice lens.
I have never heard a bad report of that lens.

In the end I plumped for the 18-200 Tamron lens, but the latest edition which has VC. Initially I wasn't very impressed, but once you work out its limitations and work within it, it is actually not bad at all. For a penny under £170, and not having to take anything else (or worry unduly about any potential damage to it) is quite liberating. I would also say that looking less professional in some parts of the world might also have advantages, it certainly does in the UK with officious security folks.

Quite a substantial post production crop, and I'd only had the lens around an hour at the time I took the shot.

(D7100 body btw)
