I had the Vivitar 100/2.8-version and was quite pleased with it on my X-E1. Not quite as sharp wide open as the Series 1 90/2.5, but that only gets to 1:2 natively.

What's your budget?

The best 100mm 1:1 macro that I've used is the SMC Pentax-A 100/2.8 Macro. Unfortunately, it costs between about $500 US and $750 US, depending on condition.

Also, the Elicar 90/2.5 V-HQ Macro MC is very nice, and costs considerably less; between about $150 US and $250 US.

Finally, the Mamiya 645 A 120/4 Macro is awesome, and costs between about $300 US and $400 US. It's a Mamiya 645 medium format lens and is noticeably larger than the others, but it's my current favourite for use on Canon DSLR when working from a tripod.

The Lens Price Database, Lens$db, contains recent prices and size/weight data for all of the lenses that I mentioned.
