[color="#006400"]My picks: Tamron 90mm f2.8 (very nice optics, nicest MF feel), Tokina 100mm f2.8 (good optics, as well built as the Nikon (but extends and noiser AF), Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR (not better optically yet more expensive, but interesting because it does not extend and VR is nice for other uses than macro).[/color]

As the camera is D3, is not really relevant now, however - please - when recommending Tamron 90mm or Tokina 100mm to Nikon users, don't forget to stress that they won't autofocus on D40/D60/D3000/D5000 cameras.
