My 105 came from some lady whose husband bought the 105 for her but she didn't want it so returned it right away, nice gesture to the husband, but it got me a brand new lens basically for 400 bucks less. Go to some camera stores in Pitt and see if they don't have used macros.
You really think the Nikon 105 micro is worth $300 (used) to $500 (new) more than the Tamron 90mm macro? Hmm...

Just not sure if I want to shell out that large of an amount on a lens for relatively limited use... I'll definitely be on the lookout for a good price on one, though!
