I like shooting macros. Of the three dedicated macro lenses I have, I find myself using the Sigma EX 70mm f/2.8 more. The others are the Vivitar Series 1 105 mm f/2.5 (beautiful, heavy, rather hard to stabilize well; and Pentax F 50mm f/2.8, which is at least as lovely).
I hear/read good things for the Talron 90mm f/2.8 as well.
