The Tamron 90mm is very highly thought of with one at least one well known pro describing it as one of the all time great macro lenses. The Tamron 180, Sigma 180 and Canon 180 macros were tested by AP magazine, and the results were akin to those in the link above.

I've used a Tamron 90mm Macro for years, I started with the manual focus Adaptall 2 version and finished up with the latest AF version, which I am still using. I can vouch for it's quality of reproduction and would recommend it without hesitation. I've also used the latest one with an old Nikon 1.6 AF converter with outstanding results. I tried the Nikon 105mm Macro for a while, but I couldn't get on with it, so I traded it in for the Tamron 90mm AF Macro and a Unilok tripod with head.
