The Sigma 150 f/2.8 macro has recieved some great reviews. My friend has that lens and loves it.

I have Sigma 150mm (Non OS one) for 5 years and I love every bit of it.

Darren, if you're saving for a wedding and a house, your passion for macro photography should take a step back in priorities. Get a used lens. That way, if you find out you need more money to pay the wedding photographer, for instance, you can get all or nearly all the money back when you sell. If you buy a new lens, it will be worth considerably less when you sell it and you will lose a lot of money. (Depreciation is nearly universally highest in the first year of ownership of a new product.)

 

Just my $.02.
