AF prime macro search

Ragnar

D5200-Does anyone besides Nikon make a 70mm or 100mm prime macro lens that has a working Autofocus with the Dx format cameras. Full frame lens or DX format would be fine. I won't use autofocus much with macro but would like to have for portraits, etc. Any input is welcome. Thanks in advance.

all the 3rd party manufacturers do.. for macro and portrait on DX i kind of like the tamron 60mm F2.0.. check out thom's review .. http://www.bythom.com/Tamron-60mm-review.htm

70-100 range. I`m not finding any that will autofocus with the 5200 except the Nikon. Any links would help.

@Ragnar: Get the Nikon 105 2.8 it is a fantastic lens. You will not regret getting it.

@Ragnar The Sigma 105mm F2.8 HSM OS will also AF on the D5200, but it is about the same price or more expensive than the Nikon version. Go with the Nikkor IMO.

The tamron 60 will af with the low end dx. Any lens that says its got a motor will af

The Nikon 105 F/2.8 is the best macro I have owned. I concur:

I have not ever seen a bad macro from any company & most all of them will work on non-AF drive bodies. The only exception I can think of is the Tokina 100mm.

I have the Sigma 150mm f/2.8 and it is also a real sweet macro lens

I have also used a Tamron 150mm macro during a workshop and the pictures were good.
