Any other third party lenses that should be taken into consideration?

Another macro you might consider is the 105mm, f2.8 1:1 manufactured by Kino Precision and exported to the USA by them under the Kiron label. It's a well built lens that carried a list price of ~$440 in the early '80s. I understand that Kino Precision also made optics for a number of companies including some of the Vivitar Series One lenses. This lens is not very well known and seems to get very little respect. One went on eBay awhile back for less than $100. For a couple of sample shots go to:
