Wonder if anyone has used this Lens. jessops selling it for £369. Is it worth it or is the Nikon Macro a better deal?

Nikon glass is always a bit better - it all depends on how much you want to spend.

I have the Tamron 60mm f/2 lens ... if it's anything like that it's a brilliant piece of glass.

And I have the Tamron 180mm macro and it's razor sharp and very highly rated.

So the 60mm is great, the 180mm is great, I'm thinking the 90's got to be good too!
