Looking for some advice and recommendation on lenses

Hi everyone! :)

So, I'm looking to buy a new lens and I need some help. I have Nikon D3000 and essential Nikkor 18-55mm
lens. I'm an amateur, loving the photography for just two years now. I usually shoot landscape, nature, some macro and street. Actually, anything that catches my eye. I was looking at Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG macro
telephoto zoom lens. Any experiences, pros and cons? What else would you
recommend?:please:
:thx2:

I would latch onto a macro lens if it were my decision. The Nikon 105 f/2.8 my first choice, if cost an issue a Sigma 105 f/2.8 or the Tamron 90 f/2.8. I also would prefer a Nikon 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR over the Sigma, just make sure its the "VR" version. Also considering landscapes, the Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM for Nikon would be a good choice, though not very fast. 
You might also consider possibly getting into full frame in the future and looking at lenses today that would be useable then....

Why so serious?
