My question was: Will Tokina 100/2.8 macro be useful for me for a better potrait and macro shots. I do own Nikon D-70 with Nikor 24-120 S-VR & Nikor 70-300 lenses. Waiting for you guys opinion.

I wish I could help you, but, I don't know about that piece of hardware. I do know however, that you have a better chance at getting a quicker response on nikonians.org. NOTHING wrong with this forum, please understand, I come here everyday and stay ALL day, but, the other forum has more users and 90% of them are Nikon Users. Just wanted to try to give you a little help.

I visited "www.radugrozescu.com" site. But still could not decide. It was from this forum by you good guy's advice I switched from Nikon Coolpix 8800 to Nikon D-70 with 24-120 vr and 70-300 Nikor lenses. Those were the best advice I could get. Now I'am after macro. If someone can precisely suggest pls do so. I appreciate all of your opinion. I know that this forum is more informative for my concern.

Thanks,

Shams.

I have a Nikkor 60 mm macro which works very well. I picked it up on ebay and save about a third from the list price but I was lucky as some of the used equipment is damaged.

I have heard that the Sigma and Tokina macros are good and that a 100mm gets better results than the 60mm. I don't think you can go wrong with either.

Why don't you pay a visit to a local photog shop and try them out.

If you're going to do Macro shots remember to use a good tripod and a cable release.

Thanks famjad,

What is cable release? Could anyone guide me for purchasing a wide angle lense for group photo.

Thanks
