Lenses are hard. :sigh:

I will probably just stick to the AF-S DX variety, but I was hoping I might be able to grab an older macro lens for under $100.

Don't forget you often set a macro lens to manual focus and move ever so slightly to focus. As an inexpensive intro to macro, it might be a good buy.

Cannot go wrong with the 35/1.8. The 50 can be a little tight in some cases, so the 35 is just more versatile.

Check the Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6. Not sure if it's cheaper than the Tokina, but it was the cheapest option when I bought it.

Best loving lens. I almost got 2 years before I lost my hood.

Consider nothing other than 35/1.8. Internet has spoken.

Yeah but a D90 with 35/1.8 is practically the same price as a D7k. D90 is a solid camera, don't discount it (disclaimer: i own one).
