If you're willing to compromise some of the old manual focus lens feel, the AF micro-nikkor 105mm f2.8D lens does 1:1 on its own and is excellent at shooting into bright lighting (concerts).

That referrs to two different model lines of Nikkor 105mm, i.e. f2.5 and f1.8.

Thanks Akira, it wasn't immediately obvious to me what was meant.
