The Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 IF-ED is an exceptional lens. This replaced my earlier version without VR that was destroyed a few years ago on a photo outing. Besides being an incredible macro lens for 1:1 reproduction ratios it excels as a medium telephoto perfect for portraiture and landscapes. The lens is tack sharp, has a terrific solid build, feels hefty but smooth and is a joy to use. I haven’t used the VR feature yet but it’s nice to have when handholding in lower light. The filter diameter is 62mm. Because the lens is internal focusing, the barrel does not move in and out - a great convenience when shooting live subjects at high magnification. I am using this lens primarily on a DX crop-sensor camera so the focal length is about 157mm. This focal length for macro photography is a real advantage, permitting greater shooting distances while maintaining a life size reproduction ratio. A small pouch and lens hood are also provided. In the sample photo, the threads on the RF cable adapter are approx, 3/4 inch (19mm) in diameter. As a testament to resolution, you can plainly discern the manufacturing slop on the adapter threads which are tough to see without high magnification. Can’t wait to take this lens out in the field.

Typical Nikon level pro glass- high quality glass, great dispersion elements, great build, dead on AF, incredible images when used correctly. Arguably a little heavy. However, pro's are used to the weight. Weight, in my opinion, is commensurate with quality glass. Understand this is a single focal length 2.8. Most non-pro's are used to zoom lenses and will not likely want to trade the convenience of a zoom for the pro level quality, at single focal length, this lens offers. For consumerists, the application is somewhat limited. But, even if you are a consumer level shooter just coming off a kit lens, and are moving into serious portrait work, this lens will deliver. But even with such pro glass at 2.8, lighting is critical to any portrait work. So, don't think for a moment this lens eliminates your need for quality light. Many other reviewers hit the technical component of the review. So, I tend to review from a pragmatic end-user perspective. This lens will shoot your daughter's recital in a gym well enough, if you get close enough and properly white balance. In a controlled setting, this is a lens you will want to take portraits of your children and wife/husband; just be sure (if indoors) you can get back far enough. If you shoot outdoors, you will want fill flash (yes, even with this, or any lens). For outdoor night time sports under good lighting, this lens is a killer- just maybe not enough reach. For outdoor daytime sports, and at a much better price point, definitely go with the Nikon 70-300 f4.5 Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR Nikkor Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras, which is more than sufficient to stop kids sports in action at great reach (450mm on a dx body). This lens also delivers great contrast and color replication- if you are using a color managed workflow (if not, you probably would not be looking at this lens anyway). Just remember that most people are viewing images only on some type of monitor these days (screen, Iphone, Ipdad, etc..). These screens/monitors are normally very cheap, not color matched, and using browser that only deal in the SRGB color space, thereby making all your effort nearly wasted. This is why prints, the true test of quality, still matter. And, if you are printing, this lens will definitely pay off. If you have the money and the need, you will not be disappointed with this Nikon glass. In fact, I have never been disappointed with any pro-level Nikon glass. Even their DX line is great for consumer to intermediate level shooting.

I've owned this lens for about six months now, and I can say with full confidence that it is one of the sharpest lenses in the Nikon lineup. I use it mostly for macro photography as well as portraiture, and for those purposes it's perfect. Images are crisp, distortion-free, clean, and accurately cast. Even when shooting wide open at f/2.8 there is little softness or vignetting present. Comparing shots wide open with shots stopped down, even at 100% crops, shows little difference in clarity, contrast, and sharpness, from corner to corner. I'm really impressed with how well this lens performs at its widest aperture. This lens is pretty much the do-it-all kind of device. You can shoot macro...you can definitely use it for portraiture (it's almost the ideal focal length for portraits). You can even use it for landscapes, if you want to isolate a subject from its background. The bokeh this lens produces is clean and well-defined. The subject leaps out of a soft, creamy background, especially at wider apertures. This lens uses the 62mm filter size...I strongly recommend getting a clear or UV filter to keep on the front of the lens at all times to protect the front lens element. A UV or clear filter will help prevent dust and debris from settling on or inside the front of the lens, and will also help protect it in case you bump into something. The lens comes with the HB-38 lens hood, a sizable hood which further aids in protection of the front of the lens. Vibration Reduction works well...it affords the photographer the ability to get shots indoors in low light that would otherwise require a flash or higher ISO. I can routinely get crisp, clear shots with no motion blur at shutter speeds of around 1/15 second...something I cannot do with other lenses that don't have VR. It's not a heavy lens, nor is it especially light. You can easily carry this lens around on your shoulder all day without a problem. It doesn't quite have the strong, tank-like feel of other Nikon pro lenses (I would not feel comfortable dropping this lens onto a hard surface); it doesn't feel like the body is made of metal as much as it is composite plastic...which is ok, since it keeps the weight down. Considering the lens has a reach of 105mm at f/2.8, I think the weight of the lens is very acceptable. I've never experience any issues with lens flare or ghosting, and I've used it a great deal in sunlight. Personally, I think this lens is worth every penny of it's sales price. It's not an inexpensive lens, but considering how well-rounded it is and how well it performs, the price is very fair and reasonable. I'd recommend the 105mm Micro-Nikkor to anyone who's looking for an excellent performing macro or portrait lens.

If you're looking for a Nikkor micro lens, this could be the one for you. I photograph coins, flowers, insects and various jewelry items. This lens is very versatile and quite sharp and contrasty. The VRII works very well, though, realistically, for macro photography, I'm not sure the VR is of any value, since you turn it off when the camera is mounted on a tripod. I find the lens doubles very effectively as a short telephoto lens on a DX frame camera, providing excellent bokeh at wider apertures. As such, it doubles as an effective portrait lens, though that is not it's primary purpose (in my book.) It also performs well for other forms of photography; I've used it to get architecture shots, and find that it introduces very little distortion. For macro photography I like this lens because of the effective working distance at 1:1. You still have 6-8 inches between the object and the front glass...plenty of room to get your lighting set up the way you want it. The only downside, if there is one, would be that it's a rather bulky lens; some people don't like the way it fits their hand or balances on the camera. I've used it on the smaller D80 and a larger D300. I find the lens easy to handle, and both camears produce exceptional photos with this lens. I have medium sized male hands...but those with small hands may find the lens a bit more awkward? The second party lenses from Tokina, Tamron and Sigma are also good...and a bit cheaper. Only you can decide what features are of value to you. For me, the VRII was "worth it" because I use the lens occasionally for interior shots at dinner events where I work. With f/2.8 and VR, I can often avoid using my SB800. I've never regretted getting this lens.

The lens arrived on time, moderately well packaged, and in perfect condition. For it's size I was surprised how heavy it is, but it feels very well built so it's not a deal-breaker. I decided to test it out on one of my cats who was very excited I got a new lens and happily posed for me. I didn't use a tripod or any additional lights. Almost every shot was sharp. The auto-focus wasn't the fastest, but it was very accurate. Went out into the garden to test it out further and found it to be very easy to use. Found out it also works well as a portrait lens even though it's a little heavy to be used in hand. Honestly, if you're looking to buy a macro (micro) lens, you don't need to spend a ton of money. This one will be sufficient until you're willing to give up the big bucks for a higher end one.

This lens is unbelievably sharp and bright from edge to edge. Better image quality at any aperture than my Nikkor 80-200 f2.8, 24-70 f2.8, and even the 50mm f1.4. Nikon also underestimated the maximum magnification. They say it's 1:1 on a full-frame sensor, but I'm getting about 1.8:1 with my DX sensor. The VR2 is great. My only other VR lens is a 70-300 VR1. I could tell the difference in VR performance on the first frame I shot with the 105. I would like to use this lens a lot more than I do, but unfortunately, the DX sensor size that is so great for magnification ratio also makes it an awkward 150mm equivalent. That's a focal length I don't find much use for in everyday shooting. Seems like I'm always either using the 80-200 @ 200 or the 24-70 somewhere between 50 & 70. Also, unlike other reviewers, mine focuses pretty slowly. My 80-200 (non-afs) beats the pants off the 105 in focus speed. Focus is smooth and quiet, so I don't think it's defective. It's set to manual for macro shooting most of the time anyway, so this isn't a problem for me. I wouldn't consider it for action shots though. One last peculiarity is that at close range focusing changes the magnification ratio substantially. This hasn't been a problem for me since much of my macro shooting is hand-held in the field. If you're the type who knows the exact distance from subject to focal plane for the magnification you want, then you may find this annoying. I gave this lens 4 stars only because of its focus speed and limited usefulness on my DX sensor camera. It definitely deserves 5 stars for its macro performance and, though I've never tried it, I bet it's a fantastic portrait lens on a full-frame camera. I can't wait until I can afford a D700 to mount it on.

Just got this in the mail today and so far it's easily the best lens I own. Here's a few things I've noticed so far. Pros: 1) Excellent image quality 2) The AF motor is indeed extremely quiet, it makes a quiet pur as compared to more convential AF systems which make a loud mechanical buzzing sound. 3) The bokeh is excellent. 4) Feels sturdy and well built (because it is) 5) The hood is very nice even though the hood mount on mine seems to be slightly crooked. Such a small matter that I won't knock any points. 6) Makes for a very nice short telephoto lens as well Cons: 1) Very heavy, if you have a tripod that uses removable plates I recommend you do not use it in conjunction with this lens. 2) The VR doesn't seem to work that well at macro distances 3) Focal length seems to "breath" ever so slightly as you focus in or out. Makes it a little difficult to frame your subject at times but the difference can't be much more than 5-10mm focal length either way so it's not a deal breaker. 4) At 62mm, the lens mount is large meaning any filters you buy will tend to be a bit more expensive. Personally I only ever use a UV filter. Plus the extra cost of filters is small compared to the quality of the images you'll get out of this lens. Other than that, the AF is a bit quirky in that it doesn't seem to want to work at macro distances. You have to manually focus to within the ballpark of where you want it to focus and then use auto focus (if at all). I actually prefer it that way. Hell, it might even be standard but this is my first AF macro lens. All in all this lens is a must buy for Nikon users who are into macro photography, particularly bug photographers. The sample photos on this page speak for themselves.

You should know what you are reading so you don't waste your time. I am an amatuer, so don't expect examination of the technical parts of the lens. This you can believe, this lens is great for taking pictures. Much of my photography is macro, or to use Nikon's designation, micro. Whatever adjective you use the lens does a wonderful job of taking very close-up pictures of timy objects. Why else would yuou spend $900 (sorry $899) for a 105mm lens? Maybe because I don't know any better I've taken great portraits and landscape shots with this. Other reviewers have waxed eloquent over the VR II. This is a wonderful feature, however if you are not as steady as you should be a sturdy tripod is recommended. You have a lot of money invested in this so invest in a good filter for lens protection if nothing else. Don't destroy the potential of this lens with a cheap filter. If you are a millionaire, stay with the cute bag Nikon provides for this lens. If like me you are a pennypincher, buy a descent lens case. My amatuerish review of this lens is it is one of the best lenses I have bought for my Nikons. Don't be turned off by the fact it is manufactured in China. I have bought a few highly praised lenses that were not made there, probably Japan, that I am hoping to sell back to Amazon. They don't work as well on my bodies-- D5100 and D7000. This is a well made lens and therefore not light. If you add almost two pounds of lens to a decent body and include a flash, you are talking too much weight for most of us to shoot hand held. Don't depend so much on VR or VRII. Buy a good tripod and use it. You won't be sorry. What you will have is wonderful shots your friends will enby and you will wonder how you improved to pro status. How serious are you about photography? Do you want to take stunning pictures you never believed possible? Buy this lens and put it on a good body. Happy shooting!
