If you already have the 105mm VR, then for the macro purpose you can get the extra reach via a 1.4X teleconverter (then you even get a 1.4:1 maximum magnification). Of course, this is a choice only if you like the lens and want to keep it.

Yes that could be an alternative... But:
1) The new Sigma 150mm is an APO lens (the 1.4x TC does not make the 105mm better with that regard <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />)
2) 1.4x TC makes VF darker
Anyway, why I keep the lens and don't get the new Sigma, because I'm not interested in macro work like I do in the past...
