On a Nikon body, there is nothing to beat the beast Nikon 105 f/2.8 VR. However both Sigma and Tamron macro lens produce great images. The re-engineered Sigma with OS (Object Stabilization) and HSM (Hyper-sonic motor) is almost as good to the Nikon both in image quality and sharpness however hunts with Auto focus in low light. The latest version of Tamron with VC (Vibration Compensation) and USD (Ultrasonic silent drive motor) is much better than the Tamron lens you mentioned, however with a short focal length you need to be extremely close to the subject. In terms of the price Nikon is slightly expensive. I would recommend you to go with a Nikon, if budget is a constrain try the Sigma. You can check with Ashraf for the Nikon lens or try the AAB outlet (they do have Nikon, Sigma & Tamron)

I have narrowed down to Tamron 90mm f/2.8 SP AF Di Macro , Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro or Nikon 105mm f/2.8G AF-S IF-ED VR Micro. Can you suggest which one to buy.
