Although we initially had a few more lenses on our short list, we eventually managed to settle on these two as we feel they will offer our readers the best deal.
Both of these macro lenses have managed to grow a solid customer base of photographers who use them as their go-to macro photography lens. This has resulted in both of them having a solid reputation within the community as they have great functionality with awsome performance for a very fair price.

The Tamron AF 60mm f/2.0 SP DI II LD IF 1:1 Macro Lens
It is a more expensive macro lens than the Tokina lens above and as so comes with a slightly better build quality and a better level of performance and functionality. Only you are able to decide if the additional price for this additional features are worth it though. We feel many of our readers will be fine with the Tokina lens above but if you are doing paid client work then it is probably better to go with this Tamron lens for your macro photography.
Again, this is a prime lens based around the 60mm focal length that has proven to be fairly popular with the community. Over the years since its release, a number of macro photographers who own the Tamron AF 60mm have posted independent reviews of the lens (click to read) that you may find helpful.

We feel that the photograph above offers a good example of the image quality the Tamron AF 60mm can offer you but it is a fairly versatile lens that will serve both you and your d7200 well in all macro photography sub-niches. One of the main advantages of this Tamron lens over the Tokina lens covered above is its low light performance. This Tamron offering absolutely blows the Tokina lens out the water when it comes to low light macro photography so if you are expecting to be working in low light this is the lens for you.
We would recommend this lens to any of our readers who own a Nikon d7200 and are going paid client work or low light macro photography. If you are an entry-level photographer then the Tokina lens will probably be a better option for your macro photography due to it offering a similar level of performance for a much lower price.
