Any reviews of the Nikon and Sigma 105mm macro?

	Hi, I'm considering buying either one of these two lenses, but I just wanted to know if anyone here have any words for or against them. I have a Nikon D40 camera right now with a standard 18-55 lens. Thanks in advance!

	Both of them are excellent. I have an old Sigma 105mm and it works fine with my D70s. Have a look at http://www.photozone.de/nikon--nikkor-aps-c-lens-tests for details. I think. in terms of price the Sigma is a good choice.

	The Nikkor 105 is razor-sharp, and has such a short DOF that you might need to stop it down quite a bit (which is sort of nice in a macro lens). One thing to check is if the Sigma has been "chipped" for your camera. If you buy it new this should not be a problem, but if it was made before the D40 was released it might need to be serviced in order for it to work. This is a general issue with all third-party lenses on Nikon equipment.
