You'll want the Nikon mount version, not the Canon, Pentax or Sony mount. The 90mm is a very sharp and well regarded lens. Its a great macro or portrait lens. Not really suited for shooting kids on the move. It is a macro, which typically means it will have a long focus throw (the number of turns it takes to go from closest focus to infinity focus) which also means it will be fairly slow at auto focusing on things.
