Thank you again beercanpoet, the Nikkor 105mm AF-S VR is probably the best macro lens i've ever used, and well worth the money - even if the VR part doesn't work when doing 1:1 work :-))
I think it's one of the best macro lenses i've used to date. Solid and well built, a typical Nikkor! The VR doesn't work when you do 1:1 stuff, but then you should switch it off when using a tripod anyway! Great lens! :-))
