Thanks for the advice. Here are the dilemmas i face though. I have a load of jessop vouchers so the lens has to come from them. The only ones they stock i am interested in are the -
Nikon 60 mm AFS £419
Nikon 85 mm AFS £439
Tamron 90 mm AF £349
I have a d3000 camera so to achieve AF i need an AFS lens. Now this might not be an issue as i understand i would be taking any macro shots in manual. So at this point i am thinking the tamron 90mm AF, its a no brainer, it is cheaper and it reviews suggest far better results. However, i dont have loads of money to spend on lenses and the nikon 60mm which has AFS acts as a great portrait lens. Yet, ostensibly i am buying it to photograph jewelery. So the extra length of the tamron might really be of advantage? If only stupid jessops so the tamron afs version. So guys what are your thoughts on what to go for?
