    Both are a fantastic macro lens, what you need to ask yourself is what you actually want to use the lens for. Ie if coins and flowers both or even a 60mm would be fine, on the other hand if its bugs like butterfly etc I would advise a longer lens again to give you that extra working distance.
    Not a direct answer but something to think on before purchasing any lens.
    Cheers

    I'm not familiar with the older Nikon lens, but the new Tokina is very sharp.
    You may want to check out photozone.de as they may have tested both lenses.
