The Tokina 100m f2.8 is a very good macro lens too, with a build quality matching that of the Nikon.

I'd see it slightly below the Nikon (no doubt better than Tamron, though). Plus, there's no AF-S and VR, of course, it extends when focusing close, and features that strange Tokina focus clutch, AF is very slow.
Good lens, for sure, but the whole package is less tempting than the 105 VR.
