<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 2038617, member: 36248&quot;]The 105mm is definitely superior to the sigma 50mm I have, no question about it.&nbsp; <u>It has absolutely nothing to do with the brand name.</u>&nbsp;&nbsp; Nikon makes great lenses, Sigma makes great lenses.&nbsp;&nbsp; The resolution on modern DSLR has reached a point that it&#039;s beyond the <u>entry level macro</u> Sigma lens I have from that generation, circa 2002.&nbsp;&nbsp; The lens in this case is the limiting factor.&nbsp;&nbsp; The Nikon in question is a pro lens.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not to mention, working at the 105mm focal length is more conducive to coin photography, which is the real reason I was looking for a fixed focal length macro lens. </p><p><br /></p><p>I actually have never upgraded my camera lenses, I still own them all, and for the most part they don&#039;t overlap.&nbsp; &nbsp; I have a few primes, (fixed focal length), some wide angle zoom lenses, a medium telephoto zoom lens, a macro lens, etc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Again, my 50MM Sigma does like 99% of coin photography and produces above average results. I am mostly happy.&nbsp;&nbsp; Do I want the 105mm Nikon, absolutely.&nbsp;&nbsp; Is it because it has the name &quot;Nikon&quot; on it, absolutely not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
