The Micro-Nikkor 60mm/f2.8 and the 105mm/f2.8 are both excellent. If I could only have one, it would be the 105mm.
I bought the 105 this morning, 'mint' from Japan
I have a nice 2 way stage, Nikon adapters, a Macro flash
I have 2 PB4, but they are in DEEP storage I may see some day.... way cheaper these days
I mount all this on Horseman rail
Winter is coming!

The 105 has always impressed me, and I hope it will do the same for you.
I have never used a Macro lens, for LF or 35

Digitest Balloon Beauty Light and Fill by Nokton48, on Flickr
Digitest of lighting setup Sky Blue Seamless Broncolor Beauty Light at F32 45 degrees camera left, Broncolor Balloon at a 90 degrees camera left F16 providing soft overall fill to the set. Silver Fill Panel camera light angled to 'feather' the fill. So far I have tried Hasselblad with 100mm, and also with 350 f5.6 with 8mm Extension Tube. Both TMax 100 bracketed f32 to F11. Everything shot handheld
Also I have set up 5x7 Sinar Norma with my longest LF lens, a 790mm F14 Rodenstock Apo Ronar. 47 inches of bellows draw measured/required, with 1.5 stops of Bellows Draw calculated. I'll leave it set up for a while until I am satisfied with what I have gotten. 5x7 contact prints are the goal on this one
Starting with small format and slowly moving up
